Missed to say Bye Bye

My routine is to pack my son's box and water bottle and wait until the his van arrives in front of the house. I carry him to the van and ensure that he is comfortably sitting and I bid him bye and a flying kiss , to which he is very prompt in responding. He insists that he is acknowledged when he gives his flying kiss and should get one in return. His hands will be stuck to his lips until he looses my view from the van that he is travelling.

Today, I feel uneasy, why?? I did not leave him to the van..I was caught up in some work and his grandfather had to leave him to the van. I was not there to take his flawless flying kiss, the innocent kiss which does not anticipate anything in return.

Here I am at the office thinking about it, yes I could convince myself by telling that I will meet him in the evening, but I am not, cause life is so unpredictable that one does not know what happens the next minute. 6 more hours to meet him.

PS: Family is the best thing that one can have, be it happiness, sadness they are there to standby. Nothing can replace them. I have gone homesick today....God help me :)
