I just had dinner with a few of my colleagues to prep for the meeting.. it&#8217;s all people e I like hanging out with.. so it&#8217;s fine. I do miss Diane and the kids very much while I&#8217;m traveling.. I&#8217;m<span style=\"\">&nbsp; <\/span>still feeling pretty sensitive. Sam&#8217;s been on my mind even more intensely than usual over the last few days. Traveling gives me the uninterrupted quiet time that my soul needs to &#8216;be&#8217; with Sam. Sometimes that&#8217;s comforting and healing.. sometimes it&#8217;s very.. very hard. I feel like I need to bring Diane or one of the boys long with me each time I travel.
