The Big Fella

Today is a day that has been almost 23 years in the making.

My son Sam leaves home to start work in Bristol on Monday.

I am so excited for him, watching him make his way in the world is giving me so much pleasure. Its bittersweet though. I love him with all my heart and will miss him so much. I am so grateful for the bonus year we've had with him at home since he graduated.

Give your kids an extra special hug tonight.
I know exactly how you feel, good luck to Sam.

Yes indeed Sean....I remember how you always are so proud of your boys so good to catch up on Sam. I wish him great success in his working life....hope he finds his chosen career fascinating & that you get used to the absent place at your table! As long as they are happy that’s all that matters!

It's s very special time. My daughter has just graduated and is about to start work for a mental health charity in London. My son is soon to start university in Southampton. The house is going to seem very empty.
