This is the week I go back to work. I’m sad. I’m anxious. Actually, I feel exactly like I did last time. But this time, even though I’m going through the same emotions, something is different. I’ve been around this block before. Will there be tears? Of course. Will we be fine? No. We’ll be better [...]
