Awww...Stu's as proud as a peacock. Walking around with your chest all puffed out. =) It's a good feeling, no? I've got one of those as well, and she starts college this week.
We're getting old ODB.
But when you turn out kids like this, it's worth the wrinkles and gray hair.
I'm proud of you too, cause I know you had a big hand in her upbringing, and you know she learned alot from you. How on earth could she not?
))BIGHUG(( to you and I'm very happy for your little family

Yes, very proud, Becca, for the young lady who's becoming a woman. As to her upbringing, mum takes all due credit for that, although I admit to adding a few, er, interesting embellishments along the way, as has her uncle. Her boyfriend sat 5 'A' levels & got 5 As; I think I'm warming to him after 2 years :~} Thanks for your kind words, & for your information, she's a crypto-sceptic after my own heart, although she's still not averse to the odd flight of fancy. |

Congrats to all of you. Well done!
This past 2 years have been a blur for me, and one hell of a roller coaster ride. I'm a first-time grandma, my "baby" graduated and turned 18, I lost both parents (Does that mean I'm an orphan?) and a few assorted other loved ones, I was laid-off, moved to a new city; but life goes on, and we do the best with what we've got. I'm actually suprised and a bit proud I didn't fall back into the bad habits I once had "to see me through" (If you catch my meaning?)
There's only one word I can think of that describes the way I feel today: "Blue". I'm not sad or depressed, I'm not happy or giddy, not nostalgic or homesick but longing for the past anyhow...I was told this is normal, and it will pass with time. I know my kids are relatively happy and healthy, grandbaby is too, friends are having similar trials and tribulations which makes me feel almost normal again (LOL).
Raise a glass to the future for me, and I'll do the same for you. Cheers! |

Thanks Patti. Some of the "mum" comments were made with you partially in mind. |
