i hate being alone , but my wife and kids have gone on vacation with her family this summer . oh no really , that really sucks to hear . why were you not able to go ? i had to stay home and work . it is sad that you can not go , but you are making a good sacrifice to make sure your family will be able to survive . also you could use the alone time to do stuff you are not able to do with them around !
Separation from family due to work commitments.
