Flying the nest

Reading an article in the newspaper the other day about mothers having to say goodbye as their children leave home to start their new lives which reminded me of my own child who is moving to holland in may. I have been trying not to think about it even though I know it will be here very soon because he is moving so far away, iknow that I still have the Internet facebook skype and ping chat but it is still not the same knowing he is only upstairs and not thousands of miles away. Still I have plenty of tissues ready and tub of ice cream comfort food what would we do with out it.
