Doesn't get easier

My heart has been so full over Christmas, especially when my Find My-app has looked like this, with everyone in the same place:

Unfortunately Christmas didn't last forever, and to the difference of Lucas who has about a month off from Uni and is still here until tomorrow, Linnea only had two weeks.
She was due to travel back last Saturday, but since our Staff Travel never firm up her Long Service Ticket, she was waitlisted; and didn't get a seat until Monday morning. She wasn't too happy though, as that seat was an economy seat... ha ha, but at least she got back.

Just as tearful of a goodbye this time... it doesn't get easier.
At least I already have my (firm!) flight booked to go and see her in February, so it won't be too long until we can hug again.
