I can sympathize. Mine was always away when the crisis happened. He was in Scotland at an RAF base when we had to pack up for an evac in London. Our passports were in a lock box and he had the key! But things all worked out. I must admit it was much easier for me as I was a stay at home mom. I don't think I could have handled a job and 3 kids for the 23 years he was in the Navy. Just think of all the laughs you will get out of this when you're my age...73!
