That was how long I had to be away from LilD and Hubz. I was not well when I left and the day before LilD had a temperature .. I was torn, how can I leave my baby when he is sick.. thankfully he was fine on the day I flew off.. I was worried but I didn't expect to feel the way I felt when I was about to leave.. I have been warning LilD for days that I need to go to work somewhere far away for 3 sleeps. I don't know if he understood it but the period before the actual flight he was extra extra clingy to me and that worried me.
The morning of my departure ..lilD woke up quite late as he had had a bad night due to his temperature, he woke up fine Alhamdulillah.. so when its actually time for me to leave.. I took him in my arms .. kissed him like a 100 times around his face, his head and hugged him tight.. and when I was about to turn to mush with the "pain" and the agony of leaving and missing him already.. he took my face in his hands and smiled and said mommy...my heart melted and I burst out crying!! yes the mommy was crying .. very strong tears.. I gave him a final kiss and give him to his dad before I disgraced myself in front my in-laws.. my mom in law had to assure me that they are around to care for him.. the list that I gave and the reminders I keep giving was enough to drive a person up the wall I am sure! I guess I felt that way because I have only ever been apart from LilD for 1 night in his 2 years .
It got better on the way to the airport until at the airport I saw my friend with her daughter who was 3 months older than lilD.. I started tearing up! Sighs.. but yeah it got better..I was feeling rotten by then.. flu is getting full blown, my gums were flaring and felt a bit swollen.. so I guess that all contributed to the bleurgh feeling I had.
KL was KL.. I was looking forward to the conference and it didn't disappoint .. some were not that good but to a degree it helped enhanced my knowledge and affirmed what I have already practiced at work. Work interupted me constantly though , understandable but irked me because a meeting was scheduled so urgently without thinking of the convenience of others around them.. but of course what the boss says goes. Had to do a lot of remote work.. advices and such like.. the perils of technology sometimes huh..thank god its sorted, my colleague G was a gem, helped me out through it all.

The delegates from the conference
Did not do a lot of shopping ,no time and well, I had a really bad cough and lost my voice as well.. had the chills and I just wanted to lie down and sleep it off most times..but soldier on I must.. to my dismay when I got back most of the stuff I bought was not for me but for LilD and Hubz..I guess that goes to show the priority you put on others when you are away from them. Perhaps its like a subliminal thought to want to ensure that just because you are away you are not out of their lives.. erm.. yeah psycho babble which has no merit whatsoever.. but those are my thoughts..
Anyhoo the reunion when I flew back was sweet..LilD saw me ,hugged me and put his head on my shoulders and absolutely refused to let go of me until we reached home.. warms the coccles of my heart and sooths the soul but most of all what you feel is you are finally home hehehe.. that was only for 3 nights mind you imagine if it had been a month .. I can assure you I will be finding alternatives or get lilD to come with me as well.
This trip also turned out to be a reunion of sorts.. Met my Alma mater mates and god knows how long it has been since we last meet.. it was fun catching up and exchanging cards and news.. there was a lot of picture taking and a lot of chat about where are you working now,how old is your kid and when did you get married and how did you meet your husband etc. etc. etc.
