I don't love you

I have been fairly home bound this year. No trips abroad; just a few trips in the US here and there. As I was preparing for a recent trip, Baby Bear informed me that she did not love me. I asked her if she was sad that I was going to be leaving. She nodded and then started crying, hugged me and said she loved me. Soooo sad for both of us. (I have spoken to her on the telephone and she is happy as a lark spending some great quality time with Daddy Bear.)
