The umbilical cord is stretched a little further

Well another milestone has been reached. Gabby has left the building or the big house as I now refer to it. She has moved to the little house in Dee Why, actually a one bedroom unit in an older block which is quite ambient. I am so happy and excited for her to be embarking on this next adventure and even happier that the place she has chosen is so liveable in and so close to everything. So as you can imagine there has been much packing and cleaning and discarding going on which is quite adrenaline driven and consequently exhausting. So its all positive and all good and then when you stop you think shit she's gone from under this roof, your roof, and suddenly you feel adrift and your eyes start leaking as you remember when she first walked at ten months and everyone was so amazed when you would put this tiny child down and she toddled off on her own, and you are so proud of her as you were then....................I'm sure Anne and Sue and Jane and Ross and Chris and Robert can relate well to this. Happy Mothers Day to you all. The life cycle keeps turning and we have another beautiful person waiting in the wings. Bring it on I say!
