Mach40,

Glad you enjoyed Thanksgiving with your daughters and grand kids.

Seems to me the extended overseas work trip in 2022 comes at a great point for you and your situation. Remember to make the most of that time! Get out and enjoy life...exercise, eat well, get involved in activities and hobbies and meet new people. Try not to dwell at all on the separation or W, and focus on yourself and being happy.
