donsdaft Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 My god, when it comes to feeling sorry for yourself I must be in line for the gold medal. Going out for a pint with my two boys tonight but it's going to be hard. My youngest son is off to Australia next week so it's the last time. I've brought all of my children up to be citizens of the world so I'm really happy for him and obviously hope it all works out for him. All I can see today though is an image of me pushing a double buggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gervaise_Brookhampster Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Mixed emotions there, great that he's starting what could be a brilliant life in a beautiful place but not being able to see him properly for years would be a bastard. At least in this day and age you have skype, facetime etc.....That wont make up for the simple pleasures of going to the pub with him or giving him a hug, christ I miss my kids when they go away for a weekend I'd give anything to go back to the time when I was pushing the double buggy Just have to save your money and get a nice holiday doon under asap!

manc_don Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 My Dad will be in a similar situation next year when I'm offski to NZ. I can already tell it's hard for him as despite living in different countries, we see each other most months and in contact all the time. Still, at least they'll get a good holiday out of it!

cupidstunt Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Its not as hard as it used to be. When I am abroad with work (I can spend long stints away) the olds get a weekly Skype call as do the siblings. Its not the same obviously but its a lot better than a call.

scotfree Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Saying goodbye to my mum and dad as I walked on to the plane that was going to take me to Australia was one of the hardest things I ever have done. I really think It was harder for my parents than for myself. I was only 21 at the time, and 22 years later, I'm still in Oz. My dad and my brother told me that I would be lucky to last 6 months....

donsdaft Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Ach, he's doing the right thing. Well going to look is definitely the right thing. The company he was working for has went out of business, nae chance of a decent job in Aberdeen and he always fancied it anyway. He's a good hard working loon, he'll get on wherever he ends up. He's 28 now as well so not really my little boy anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
