Gosh, everything feels so 'right' again now, even just seeing him sat on the couch makes the whole house seem different
I know just what you mean here, a year ago when Tommy had a horrible gastroenteritis he spent 5 days at the vet hospital and nearly underwent exploratory surgery (he had a sudden turn for the better and the vet held off on surgery). The whole house felt wrong, just everything felt wrong. It was a sick, dreadful feeling of my whole world just having that bleak and scary feeling. It was almost more than I could stand to see his balls and bones laying around on the floor, but I couldnt' stand to put them away either because that felt even worse.

I remember acutely how dark those days felt while he was gone, and how it felt like a gush of bright warm light in my soul when he was home again. Everything just felt right again. A bone laying on the floor was just something for me to trip over again, instead of standing out because it was his and untouched. It's so hard to put that feeling into words I'm so very glad your baby is back home with you again, and you can breathe a true sigh of relief.
