Absence Makes The Heart Grow

I was clumsily carrying several things into the office today so when I got in the elevator I set my purse on the floor and tried to reorganize. When I unfolded my sweater and draped it over my arm one of Jake's socks fell out. (It was one with the blue stripe that he's so fond of but has outgrown - a cause of major heartache for him last month.)

And I suddenly missed him very much.
