F has been in China for 3 days (or maybe 2 since he spent one on a plane) and I can tell you that it is not close. It is far far away and once in a while J asks me "Where is papi again?" and when M melts down she wants papi of course, because he is in China and there is not much we can do about that. F has not slept more than 3 hours at a time since he got there, the trip and time difference are brutal. If I had to travel like he does, I would die -- literally, from either exhaustion or homesickness. Everyone always asks me why he has to travel so much, can he say no, will it diminish- unfortunately the answer to all of these questions is no or I don't know. I do not envy my spouse. I am left to single parent a lot but I have the better deal. Thank you I am Sam/King of Siam for doing what you do, packing your own clothes, and for being my best friend.
PS I recommend this Italian gem by Bellocchio, director extraordinaire of
Vincere and
I Pugni in Tasca as well.
