Obviously, “soon” is a relative term, one you chose wisely. I believe you’ll be back before, say, Halley’s Comet returns again. Take your time and enjoy your new life!

Best,
Mike

You promise to be back soon?
Which is more than can be said for one of your colleagues?

Well, Nate, just you wait, just you wait.

IF and HOW you’ll be back is not in your hands anymore. It is fully in the hands of Noah, whose hands will look tiny now but will be the most powerful hands in your life. He now rules your universe, he will conquer all you have and all you are.
He will surely leave some of your life for yourself to use, and you’ll surely be able to fit some of your former existence into that little space. How large that space will be for the next couple of years is yet to be decided (by Noah).
However, the size of your little private lot will not matter at all, it will be merely a detail in the face of experiencing the wonders of a world with a child in it. So I congratulate you for allowing yourself and your life to be conquered by the miracle of life.
And his hands are tiny, aren’t they?
Those little fingers?
Amazing.
