She is sensible and level headed and a hard worker. I'm sure there will be ups and downs and she will make mistakes and possibly bad decisions but they are her's to make and to learn from and she is going to have so much fun xxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-645623161673298882016-07-14T11:49:44.553+01:002016-07-14T11:49:44.553+01:00Oh Sarah, this is such a beautifully written poign...Oh Sarah, this is such a beautifully written poignant post. It’s many years since I went through the same feelings with my daughters, but it brought tears to my eyes. The bits of cotton wool and the coco pops drive you mad at the time but when they’re no longer there you will wish the whole house is full of them. I only know you through your blog but I have picked up enough to confidently say that you are a lovely lady and have raised a lovely responsible daughter who will take all your love and confidence with her when she leaves. Then you can look forward to her holiday visits with a bag full of washing and lots of stuff to tell you about :-) xxPollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502031456581056874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-87761759431611339942016-07-09T15:11:32.107+01:002016-07-09T15:11:32.107+01:00I know, I Do still have a year Val and then hopefu...I know, I Do still have a year Val and then hopefully (if she gets her first choice Miss Mac will only be a couple of hours away). There isn't really anything uplifting to say is there? It is what it is and it's life and it's the way it should be. It's just hard ... I've done plenty of investigating in the mould removal area so at least I know of some good stuff to send her off with.<br /><br />It's bloody difficult Joe, I've done it before so I can do it again, I think that her being the last to leave just makes it harder ...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-23424364493565410942016-07-08T19:43:11.504+01:002016-07-08T19:43:11.504+01:00Letting go is difficult.Letting go is difficult.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-12583558546561302982016-07-08T16:04:39.113+01:002016-07-08T16:04:39.113+01:00You still have a year!
I know exactly how you fee...You still have a year!<br /><br />I know exactly how you feel. My son The Pony is leaving in five weeks! Forever, probably. He will be 9 hours away, so unlikely to come home until Christmas break. He is my buddy. We've never had a big blow-up like the daily flaps we had with his brother, Genius.<br /><br />I am just now getting over Genius's college departure three years ago. Sorry. That's not very uplifting, is it? Enjoy your time with Miss Mac while you can. You can't stop that train. But you can send her off with a boatload of mold cleaner.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-53732736650886480262016-07-08T14:41:18.816+01:002016-07-08T14:41:18.816+01:00Ha ha, yes SARN, I DO!!! I felt a bit mean saying...Ha ha, yes SARN, I DO!!! I felt a bit mean saying SD couldn't fully understand, I guess what I mean is he would struggle to feel all those(as you said) complex feelings. It doesn't mean (as you have shown) that you can't understand or even empathize so maybe I should share it more with him. <br /><br />This is something that all parents have to face at some point, what I need to do is focus on the positives as much as possible because they really DO outweigh the fears I have.<br /><br />I'll get there!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comment xxxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-80590380179276928352016-07-08T14:16:55.468+01:002016-07-08T14:16:55.468+01:00I want to say something to help you Sarah, but wil...I want to say something to help you Sarah, but will fail dismally because I have never had children, so cannot possibly hope to FULLY understand your complex feelings, although your post is so beautifully written and heartfelt that I do "get" what you say and think I'd probably feel just like you do if I was in the same situation.<br /><br />I've got a tonne of cliches to offer you is all . . . so I won't bother with those.<br /><br />All I want to say now, to cheer you up, is . . . forget about the mould and REMEMBER THE DONKEYS?????? Hmmm? You feel better now don't you . . . DON'T you!????<br /><br />Sending love and hugs, <br />Sarn xxx<br /><br /><br /><br />Sarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174058971522723860noreply@blogger.com
