Just watched my parents drive off with my baby for her first overnight with them. I miss her already.

Oh my, I understand. FWIW it's way tougher on you than it is on the baby

Hello Peter,
Just found this thread. How did you go overnight? How did the little one go? How did the grand parents find it? What was baby's response on seeing mother and father again?
BTW - get used to it ... age doesn't lessen the pangs when children - even adult children - leave for a while.

Everything went perfectly. Thanks for asking.

She doesn't know it yet, but this was just prep for when we leave her for 4 days in August.

My son and I went to the states for a month, 2 years ago. His mom thought she would die, she hadn't been apart for him longer then 24 hours prior to that. He was just fine though. Kids are a wonder.

"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."
