Jacob will be flying back home this evening after having spent 12 days here. It's been a marvelous time nevertheless, and I feel I've a better connection with him than I've had for a long time! It's probably because he has been with me around the clock for the better part (8 days) of this visit.

I'm realy writing this note because a friend reminded me ("I've read through your blog to see how Jacob and you were doing... Not a word!"). Sorry, I was too exhausted and simply forgot...

Anyhow, it's been an eventful and uneventful stay. Some days were about going out, meeting friends, having lots of intense fun. Some others were about just having a relaxed time, sometimes even downright boring, which isn't bad in itself, as boredom visibly sparks creativity (did Jacob read my previous entry? Somehow I doubt that ;-) ).

Some of the moments I will cherish the most are falling asleep with Jacob, taking him to see the clown Manne (we saw "Uppåt väggarna", which is with Manne's son and daughter, also clowns), seeing his connection with Eva (they really formed a good relationship of their own, which makes me happy!), spending time at Tom Tits Experiment with my first girlfriend (yes, we are friends at this point) and her two daughters, and just marvelling at Jacob's ability to connect with other kids here, on any playground, even though they don't understand each other's languages.

What else? Well, for starters, it feels like this spiritual connection I've always felt with Jacob has truly had a chance to be refuelled and strengthened. I think very few will understand what such a connection means and how important it is for it to exist to be able sustain a long distance relationship with him, him living on the other side of the Atlantic Pond and all. I'm putting it all on having been with him around the clock for 8 days!

Anyhow, for being the last day that I'll see Jacob for a while, I'm in fairly good spirits. I'm thinking of this as a relaxed day, haven't really planned anything specific, just being together and doing what we want with it. Oh, and I need to make his bags, which I had planned to do in the morning before he wakes up, but didn't... Hmm, I wonder what that really says about my state of mind...
