In about an hour I’ll be dropping my adult daughter at the train station after the Christmas break and as usual I’m so sad ! She drives me a bit nuts, as with the other thread her rooms a mess, she’s quite opinionated but she’s funny and a fabulous young woman and I miss the very bones of her !
I’ll put her on the train and then hide in my scarf as a few tears fall . Does it ever get any easier!!

. My son lives in Oz. He’s lived there for about 8 years and it never gets any easier whether we’re leaving him there having visited or dropping him at the airport here. He’s back at the moment and am dreading taking him at the airport when he goes back in about 9 days. There will be tears from me in the car coming home. I do try not to cry in front of him. If it helps be proud that you’ve done a great job as a parent giving your child the confidence to seek their own way in the world.
