Thank you Cindy for your good thoughts, I kinda knew this already

, but really was hoping someone would tell me there was a magic time when all worries ceased

He has had an interesting trip and we were thrilled he was getting to do this, although it's hard for him to be off and so far away, I wait every day for that email, so I know he is okay. He has been pretty good about emailing at least every 4 or 5 days, so I didn't worry too much, at least until now..that is
