Dear T,
Where was your magic answer for me to avoid being really anxious about my D returning to school? Right, there isn't one... It does help that you think I'm doing what we need to do for her. And that you seem worried, too, even though your son is vaccinated. I think it just helps that you're in all this with me--that you get it. That you're not downplaying my fears. In part because you're afraid, too.

I just wish you weren't going away for a week Wednesday... At least I'll see you again on Tuesday, and then the following Tuesday. That it won't be 10-12 days like some other trips. It's just difficult timing for me. And I imagine you'll say it will be fine to reach out, as usual. But I'll do my best not to. Hm, maybe it's better if I don't say that to myself. If I just tell myself: "If you reach out, it's OK." I imagine that's what you'd say, too. Then I'm not putting additional pressure on myself.

Love you,
LT
