Do you think that T's vacation somehow makes us sort of "feel the smallness?" I've had similar reactions this week and my child self or "little me" (as I said to T) has been making herself known.

I know for me the vacation definitely made me "feel the smallness"-- as I told T yesterday, the part of me that dealt with missing him was the little kid... the part that wanted that stuffed animal, the one who slept with the book. The reason we have such a difficult time dealing with our Ts absences is because of things that happened when we were little-- so naturally we "turn little" again when they leave.
