Last trembling days in grade 9

When I met my husband almost 29 years ago, I was very clear that I neither cleaned, cooked nor wanted children. To this day, I still don't understand why he stayed.

I still remember the day when, 13 years later, he asked if I hadn't changed my mind regarding children. From absolutely not wanting to have children, I was completely changed when the offspring was born.

The day before yesterday Junior went on a 3-day school trip. I sincerely hope I can sleep tonight as I only slept 3 hours last night. Words cannot describe how much I miss him.

He called earlier this evening and told us about everything they had done so far. Among other things, they went kayaking today. While I am happy for his happiness, I am sad because I miss him. Thank God he's coming home tomorrow.
