Can you do that Can? Can you tell yourself that this is just him leaving for work for a long period of time as in the past. You don't know what the future holds. I doubt he does either. I can promise you from dealing with this situation for a very, very long time, that what they want changes every five minutes, there clearly is no fixed, permanent grand plan under which they operate, and things generally change after that first period of bliss and happiness. This is not permanent. How you feel about it is not permanent. Enjoy this last day (for a while) as a family.
