Already Missing Them

Soon I'll be going on vacation.  Today when I was crossing paths with some of the homeless folks I know, I was letting them know that I'll be gone for a couple of weeks.  One of them, who I'll call "Roslyn" here, replied that she and others will be looking forward to seeing me again when I get back from vacation.  I responded that I'll be looking forward to seeing them again too.  
After I had walked away, I realized that I was already missing them.  And then I considered that given that I feel this way, perhaps it's a good indication that bonds of love and community have already formed with these tender people I already miss.
