Thank you for letting me know that you are ok – I am always wondering how you are, what you are doing…. But just knowing that you are ok lifts me up and settles me (at least for a bit!). In a bit I will be on my own, and then I will sit here with my eyes closed, and some quiet deep breaths, and then I know…. instead of noise – maths, physics, computing, history, or even geopolitics (!) – there will be you, just you.

And this is when you make me cry, because your “hand grenades” in my head make me peaceful.

I love you my darling beautiful one x.
