My friend Jackson is experiencing the feelings of many parents who have to travel for work:
This morning I was dropping the kids off at school and my 2 year old just burst out in tears and wouldn’t let me go. He never does that. He doesn’t understand why I need to go out of town for work.

But, it sounds like he has something in the works that’s going to make it better, soon, and, it’ll be worth the separation time.
