Missing you

See? Told you it was the size of a pail!

I'm in a place that's pretty close to paradise. They serve drinks in glasses the size of pails here. I'm having a great time with a lifelong friend and it's really a wonderful trip. But there's this underlying feeling of something that should be there that isn't.

Oh, that's right! It's my baby.

I knew I was going to miss her, I just had no idea it was going to be a near constant ache. In about 30 hours I'm going to give her the world's biggest hug, and I'm not going to spend another night away from her for a really, really long time.
