Dear Mr. Bush,

And so my time at home is coming to a close, with today flashing by in an instant and the slow burn of reality creeping into my conscious at every turn. What follows for me, for Janice, for our family will be different, but it's been an amazing time while we've had it. There are so many who can't take this kind of time off to spend with their tiny, fragile children, and so I know I'm very lucky to have had the time that I've had, but it still breaks my heart to even think about leaving tomorrow.
