All the best for next week at work. I totally know how you feel, knowing that they'll be ok but worrying anyway. FWIW, I spent months crying intermittently at the thought of leaving Phoebs and still get twinges occasionally (like today for some reason - I think because of the unsettled night last night). Anyhoo, I hope your return to work is positive and that you cope ok. (I'm sure E will be just fine and you will enjoy the most spectacular cuddles when you get home! I still love the look on P's face when she sees me when I come to pick her up. I get the biggest grins and cuddles. It's lovely.)
I could have written Amy's words above word for word, I still have random cries and did for months before But I must say there is nothing that brightens my world more than the reaction I get from Bailey when I walk in the door - I have never felt so loved

Hugs BG
