Default Leaving party - why do we do it???

Had our leaving party last night, it was bloody awful! Saying goodbye to over 70 friends and family was just too traumatic! I knew I would be upset but I wasn't expecting everyone else to be crying! Had to make a speech as well which was just me crying into the microphone for most of the time! Hubby (who has no fears at all) had written one which was funny and rhymed! He cant understand what all the fuss is about!

This morning I just feel flat and depressed and am blaming hubby for taking me half way round the world and leaving all my friends behind! Everyone wrote in a book and I've spent most of the morning reading it with a box of Kleenex! I look a right state!

Oh my God!!! One more sleep!! I'm going to live in Oz TOMORROW!!!!!

We didn't have a big do for that reason. We had a few smaller dos, which were hard enough

I really feel for you on this one! I cry when I even think about having our leaving party. Still not sure if I could go through with one. Bet you won't be sleeping much tonite!
Have a safe flight and best of luck for the future. Let us know how you get on from the other side....
