Dear Darling

Dear Darlings
Today marks the end of three weeks of easy-going, relaxed, loved-up bliss… otherwise known as school vacation.
In one hour I will leave you at school, knowing that the tears will dry up as soon as I step out of the classroom, knowing that your teachers will care for you and that your friends will be so excited to see you… and knowing that I will return in 7 hours when the school holidays will be a distant memory.
If only you could see that when I say “goodbye” it does not simply mean “see you after school” there is a much, much sadder goodbye, for today I say goodbye to… lazy winter picnics in the park… long exploring adventures with the dogs (because we have never taken this street before)… “just one more chapter” of our favorite book because we simply can’t wait until morning to find out what Tom Gates will do next… long lazy cuddles as the sun is coming up, where our arms and legs are so entwined in the warmth of blankets and pillows we aren’t even sure who can escape first… I say goodbye to days filled with “Hey Mum you have to see this” or listening to you scooter down the driveway with your friends yelling “Every man for themselves”.
You will never know how hard it is to see you return to school because I will smile, say “I’ll be right here” and when you cry I will tell you “This is going to be a great day”
And it will be, because you are loved and loving and kind and the world deserves a piece of you too.
So “Goodbye my little men and I’ll see you soon”
Love Mum
