Make of it what you will

I can say with confidence that my voluntary separation from my son is equally baffling to people in America as it is to people in Iceland. But we've found ways to make it work. For instance, my son and I have gotten really good at giving each other virtual hugs over Skype. We do it over and over with lots of squeezing noises. No replacement for the real thing, of course, but still, I think it helps bridge the gap, and is something special just between us.

Thank you Ko-leen. It is indeed a rare a precious gift, to have people in your life who are non-judgmental. Even better is when you find someone who will listen to the whole of your situation, and still not judge, still accept. But you know that already.
