The longer I'm away, the easier it is for him to close the door, or so it feels.

Is, I wish I didn't feel this way too, but I do. I wish I could give you some words of encouragement, but unfortunately, I'm afraid those of us without children are really giving them a ticket to ride....

If it's any consolation, I'm feeling the same exact loss you are. As my pastor says, it's a loss for everyone.
