Pass The Tissue...

| Miss Christine does Paris. |
We are passing the tissue box.
Miss Christine is winging her way back to New Zealand tonight.
I am so excited for her to start this new chapter in her life.
She is bursting with excitement and I am too!
Qantas is carrying her back to the welcoming arms of her friends.
Mother and Daughter have made
wonderful memories over these past weeks.

| Me and Miss Christine |
So now the hard part begins...missing Miss Christine
and looking forward to when we can all be together again.
Miss Claire reminded my yesterday that she turns 18 next year.
Miss Claire...Here we go again!
To mothers who are blessed with young daughters (and sons)
I encourage you cherish the time you have...
even the angst of those teenage years.
To mothers who have been here before, does it get any easier?

I would imagine as I write this you are at the airport... Really hope that she has a safe flight and that you are ok Jeanne... Difficult times - saying goodbye is never easy, thinking of you....(and what lovely photographs - you are all so alike - gorgeous girls)
ReplyDeleteOh that must be so very hard. Your daughters are beautiful, and look like such happy girls.
ReplyDeleteDear Jeanne - I have complete empathy with you...as you know, we have just been through the same separation in our family...as hard as it is, I do feel that it's a testament to the job you've done when a son or daughter feels able to go far from wherever home & family are and function independently....I was going to say 'adult' there but I'm not sure that's the right word - they're on the path but not quite there yet! Take heart that you have a closeness which distance will not change & just think of all the trips ahead! My GG is having an absolute ball in Sydney, living life to the full and I wouldn't want it any other way (and I feel sure you wouldn't either)....I'm enjoying a 'wee dram' as I write this so I shall raise my glass to your lovely Christine ....safe travels & good luck with all your new ventures (& adventures) Susie x
ReplyDeleteP.S Love your photo!
Bonjour Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteI know this must be a very hard time for you, but try to remember how lucky you were to have all the time together over the past few weeks.
Wishing your daughter safe travels and the best of luch at university. Both of your daughter are beautiful - like their mom!
Dear Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteOh how I feel for you...it's so hard when they go away, isn't it ?
It was bad enough for me when mine went to University in THIS country let alone all the way to New Zealand. .... although, I can understand as, I didn't see mine for a whole year when they went travelling around the world.It's really difficult and, I'm afraid that it doesn't get any easier !!!!.... but, there are so many happy times to share together. When our son got married it was just the BEST day so, I'm sure you know, Jeanne, that there are many happy times ahead.You have a beautiful family and you must be very proud of them. I think that it's great that our children are getting out there, learning so much and seeing the world. XXXX
Oh, Jeanne, be brave, dear! Mine are still young, but I know it goes very fast. Your daughters are gorgeous - what a beautiful family you are! And that top picture in Paris is so special. I wish her a safe and rewarding journey. Hang in there, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Stephanie
Jeanne, Thanks for reminding me to treasure every moment that I spend with my 13 YO daughter and 10YO son. I think they will be getting lots of extra cuddles tonight!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Natasha.
There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. ~Hodding Carter, Jr.
