I just learned a new word: “Kidsickness.” It’s when parents miss their kids. I mention it now because many parents and their kids can’t wait until the kids go off to summer camp or to visit a grandparent for a week or two. Yet soon after the kids depart, the kids become homesick and the parents get “kidsick” until they are reunited.
The lesson: Although an occasional separation is good, at their core, families long to be together – and hug.
