This story is so lovely. I understand the contentment after the worry. Sometimes, it's not even conscious. My husband used to joke with me about how relaxed I would be when "All my chicks were home & tucked safely into their beds." I think you captured that feeling perfectly. My kids are 42 & 40 now with chicks of their own. But I still feel that same sense of contentment when I know they are home from any travels & tucked safely into their own beds. <3
