What Difference A day Makes

It could be no difference, small or huge... it could be positive, better :) or negative, worse :( or just so-so! The most expected difference is positively significant against substantially negative. But I noted a difference that could not or difficult to objectively measure from those +100 to -100 scale. This is not about mathematics, but subjective feeling...

Being apart of those we love. I said before that connecting people is only a few click or tap away. I realized that it is not the same between having contact and being around.

Flying for miles, staying in a 5* room here, enjoying good food... but alone (at night). I am loosing something in this heart. A same heart actually, but lack of smiles, tears, touches, kisses... or any others that cannot be conventionally or digitally transferred into the wire or the air over the magic of the internet high way. And this does not mean entirely 'negative' in any way, but only 'unfulfilled'. This lacking is not permanent... hopefully for a few days or whatever it could take.

Family... there are billion of individuals, but none could possibly replace the one we possess. Hundred million of houses, but none like home. My home, the one we are living in, is the center of this universe, not this beautiful hotel, not those expensive places...

So, I would say that a day or days could make a 'mathematical' difference and a different difference.
