Feeling very nervous about getting on a plane tomorrow to visit my friend for a couple of days

Yes I know air travel is way safer than driving bla bla bla. I don’t need to hear that.

My 4yo keeps asking if I’m going to come back (I rarely do This), and all I can think is all those people meters from the runway who told their families they would see them later and never saw them again. So I lie and say of course I’m going to come back when I can’t guarantee anything.

I’m dreading the weekend and dreading the see you later.
