Anyone who spent a few days or a week away from their baby? Any word of advice or encouragement?

I will have a 6 days trip to another continent soon - first time away from my 2 year old for so long😩 I've been only away for 2 nights once a few months ago. Also, it's an 8 hour flight - I'm scared of being so far away. What of something happens and I'm not around?

He will be with his dad. We are separated so his dad is not a constant physical presence, but they see each other once a month for a week, and they do video calls every day.

I'm so worried my son will be sad, and/or will think I abandoned him😩
