“Don’t be sad”

the Papaya said to me, sweeping away the tears as they ran down my face. We were watching him go through the TSA line at 6 a.m. - back to England for Adventure Dad.

I love Papaya - she’s sad in bits but honestly, she’s okay, she trusts that we said when Daddy is done with his Job that she’ll get to go to England (the land of Castles!) and “get him.” She’d like his job to be done “when the sun comes up tomorrow” but she accepts my explanation that it’s a big job and will take him a few months.

Most important?  Love.

It's how I felt - without internet (on MY beloved Macintosh computer - I had access via my 'rents PC but PCs hate me and it's just not the same) for what I think may have been an eternity but Adventure Dad assures me was only a few weeks.
