Coach to Singapore en route to China

I am leaving by the 10 am coach to Singapore.  Sent Jordan to school this morning.  He kept very quiet, refused to look at me.  I know that he is sad that I will be gone for 12 days.  When he got out of the car, he said goodbye without looking at me.  I sent him lots of love.

When I got home, Jouwe my youngest came downstairs saying that I cannot go out.  It took a while to calm him down.

Then No 2 came down.  Johan was crying, demanding that I do not go.  But after consoling him and telling him that the 12 days will pass by quickly, he calmed down and we talked about what I would get him from China and things we can do together when I get home.

I am completing my packing and spend some time with Johan and Jouwe.

I am grateful that I have a wonderful husband and 3 wonderful sons.
