Well, I'm more than sure that people are heartsick of the story of my daughter leaving home to live in Orkney with her much older boyfriend. But. It's finally happened.
I've been quite ill all week, feeling her departure looming on the horizon. I've had palpitations and headaches and a desire to curl up in my bed all day and night, hoping to ward ( Read more... )

that was hard to read...i hope you're getting through the day .....life is such deep shit sometimes

you're clearly a top class mother..that in itself puts your daughter in good stead as she leaves to deal with the world on her own.

Oh, thank you so much. I think it will take a wee while to feel normal again. Your kind words have really cheered me today. x

aw, reading this made me cry... look at her little curls. The necklace sounds gorgeous, what a thoughtful gift. I hope you are okay x

Sorry for making you cry ! I will be okay. I know I will. But it has been hard.
The necklace was beautiful. It was made by a company called Heathergems. Her pleasure when she saw it is something I'll remember for a long time.

Well, I'm sure we all try to be the best mums we can be. I know that children growing up and leaving home is perfectly normal, but it's also quite hard to see, and feel, them go.
Sorry for making you cry !

I am feeling tearful reading that too. I hope that she comes back to visit often and also that she makes the most of her life.

Remember I have a friend in Orkney (another Amy, a journalist in her early 20s) who is living on her parents' farm at the moment as she's unemployed and had to leave London because of that. If you would like her details I'm sure she would be more than happy to befriend your Amy.

And I think you are a great mum too.

Thank you so much. I'm sure my Amy would like to know your Amy.
The kind comments that my LJ friends have left for me have made a big difference to how I felt today. I'm very touched.
