Such a beautiful girl, I wish her all the very best and every success....doesn't stop your heart from breaking though, does it?
When my son left home about 8 years ago - he REALLY left home...went to follow his love and his career and moved to Vienna in Austria
I truly never thought I'd get over it, I reckon it took me a good couple of years, even though he 'came home' 4 times a year. It just wasn't the same as seeing that big grin and feeling those huge hugs on a daily basis. My heart still aches for days after he goes back again.
They're only on loan to us (unfortunately!)....I wish you all the very best, and please know all us other mums are hurting along with you too
