Hey Kim, You think you have it bad. My daughter has been in Australia since 7/9. She is serving as an American ambassador there. She comes home this Thursday night. I miss here like you wouldnt believe. i also never realized how much she is a help to me. Like watching my 3 year old so I can run down to throw in a load of laundry etc. So I feel for you. But at least he is with your sister in law and someone that you trust!! Hang in here
