My first experience with this was for a bit of a different reason in that in April of 2016 my daughter left on an 18 month mission for our church. We don't get the luxury of picking up the phone whenever we want or texting. I email her once a week and we've done Skype chats on Christmas and Mothers Day. I've missed her like crazy while she's out but I'm excited that she's 6 weeks out from coming home. Seriously, the thought of seeing her when we pick her up at the airport feels like it will be a level of joy I've never experienced. This is all tempered a bit by the knowledge that she'll be off to college in January and then my son will be doing a 2 year mission so there's that bit of heartache on the horizon.
