My Substack is (currently) called "Welcome Home" and I wrote a few months ago (over winter holiday I think) that in order to say "Welcome home!" to the people you love, they have to LEAVE FIRST. Love those little humans so much, but it's a lot easier to enjoy them when we can all get some regularly scheduled space from one another.

Oh I LOVE that framing. I love getting to say to my littles every time they come home how much I miss them. And I do miss them! I'm so happy to see them! But I can't tell them I'm happy to see them unless they've gone out into the world and had their own experiences, allowing me to stay here and have mine.
