I know that to you it was a long two years. I'll bet he has no clue how long it was, without thinking about it. If he had to guess, without having time to think about it, he'd probably say it was 20 minutes. OK, maybe a bit longer than that, but you get the idea. What I am saying is that I think you had better be prepared for him to never really understand what you are feeling about this. In the cloud he was in I don't think he ever felt it the way you did. That doesn't make it right, but there it is.
