This mission is hard family-wise. I am so lucky that I have a wonderful supporting husband. I wouldn't have been able to do this if not for him. You know, there are many journalists who go away to report on wars or dangerous places. I started reading a book about Africa and this guy was thanking his wife for letting him go and then welcoming him back home. It's generally the women who do this, but it's the reverse for us. I mean of course I'm not stealing that much time away from home, trying my best to keep up the family and my duties to both my husband and our daughter. My conscience is less burdened because I've been at home and have been with my daughter almost 24/24 for 5.5 years, and now it's time to let go a bit. Healthier for both of us. And it's fine that my husband gets to spend some time with the child he had at 50. Still, I won't be getting this time back with my daughter and any day spent away from my two most precious in the world is time stolen. And of course I miss her terribly. And I seriously doubt that I would have done this if it wasn't for internet and WhatsApp.
