I'm glad she's back safely and it's good to hear how you missed her (and she missed you, she wrote that in a comment). Strange, if you're together, you take that for granted, but when she's gone, you know what you're missing.
There is even a song about this in the Netherlands:' you only know what you miss when she is not there'. Of course, it rhymes in Dutch.
"je weet pas wat je mist, als ze er niet is".
