**GOODBYE........FOR NOW**




Nobody likes saying GOODBYE........I sure as hell don't!!

After 5weeks of absolute bliss & family fun Mom & Dad left for SA last night!!I am absolutely heartbroken.......I was strong,had to be for my kids but.........my tears won in the end.As we loaded them in the minivan I broke down........both Mom & I were balling our hearts out.

No matter how many times we do it it NEVER gets any easier........!!!!

I barely slept last night,waking up at 3am-lovingly concerned whether they made it through customs okay?!(we had to get an extra suitcase:),if they had enough $$ to grab a bite at STARBUCKS in Dubai??,are the seats comfy enough for them to rest in between connecting flights from UAE??!!....all silly worries but I had them nevertheless......:)for a while I felt like the parent & they were my children.......amazing how life evolves & roles sometimes temporarily shift!!!??......

Now as I sit here drinking my coffee.....I look into my garden & Dad is not roaming around,Mom is not making my first cup of coffee.......& my eyes well up again.....:(

I know my parents are OKAY......I know they are very sad too-infact they both mentioned wanting to stay a little bit longer-I wish it was that easy :) but I take comfort in the fact that they are going home to my kid brother & sister-who loves them JUST as much as we do.......to all their friends awaiting their return,ready to pop in for a cuppa tea & listen to all their amazing stories the photos just don't convey fully......

THANK YOU LORD for the amazing holiday we shared together......for the beautiful memories we created & the LOVE you bestow upon us ALWAYS.....

Blessed Sunday to you all........!!!
