He called.
After leaving the US on Friday and our last phone conversation at about midnight that night, he has finally called. I was actually in the shower, but I've had the phone pinned to my hip for the last 48 hours. Of COURSE he'd call when I'm in the shower!
Sweet relief. It was HIM. His voice...his laughter...his smile. I could hear his smile. It was him.
I will rest easy tonight. I will sleep in peace.
No, he is not home. No, he's not in my arms. No, I wish he was was not there.
But he called. And it was him. And he's OK. And I'll be OK. And we'll be OK.
