Family just landed in Bangalore for a 3 week vacation. This is the first time in 12 years that I and my family are going to be apart for that long. While i am jealous, there wasn’t much I could do because we couldn’t secure a good doggy care for Hobbes. Christmas + new years time means either care is too expensive or simply unavailable, and all our friends had their own plans. So yeah, the bright side of this is I and Hobbes will spend some quality time together next 3 weeks, while A will spend quality time with her parents back in their gorgeous town without pesky me - and her parents can devote full attention to her rather than son-in-law. R meanwhile gets best of all worlds spending time with all set of families on mine and A’s side and without me to annoy or discipline her she is a free bird!
But gosh, its only been 20 hours since they left but the loneliness is real!
