Two weeks ago, my husband left me with four kids as he took off for Germany. I sent him with a duffel bag and clear instructions on what to bring back. No complicated, frivolous or expensive requests. I only requested one thing: Candy.
He delivered.
There is no substitute for my husband being at home with us, but if I had to come up with partially satisfying replacements, candy, marzipan, and loose leaf black tea would be good starts.
Thank you, my sweet husband.
