Re: Tears Flowing
Hi H, I've just dropped my youngest off at nursery for the last time (she is 3). We have hired a bouncy castle and I took in a cake and sweets for the kids. When we got to the pre school room a couple of her carers that looked after her when she was younger came out to say bye. I wasn't prepared and the lump came from nowhere
. I struggled to give them the thank you card and choccies. I think I'll need a drink when I get home after picking her up later. I'm dreading it.
I'm glad that my other 2 are just finishing school when they break up for the summer hols. I really don't think I could cope with good byes there. The eldest is 10 and has been there since nursery. I also think that it might be a little easier on them as it will (hopefully) feel just like a normal end of year. Well thats the plan anyway

Re: Tears Flowing
Well I've been and got the little one. To be honest it waqsn't that bad. I missed her saying bye to her best friend but she apparently gave him a big hug. They had put together a file with reports and pictures etc and they gave her a card they had made. We went round all the rooms and said bye to all the staff. She started there when she was a little baby and I think I have to give them some credit to how happy and friendly she is. Her current key worker was a bit upset but all in all we handled it well.
Oh wasn't affected at all. He just sees it as one step closer to oz

Re: Tears Flowing
I feel like my heart and my stomach are competing for space in my throat and the tears are so close all the time. It's not helping that the Diana' concert keeps showing moving clips either

Re: Tears Flowing
My kids have just left nursery this week also and but I am still completely unaffected. Don't know if it hasn't really hit me yet. Still feels like everything is not really happening although we have sold our house and handed in our resignations. Just feels like some big joke. Wondering when it will actually hit me that I am leaving absolutely everything behind? Comments on a postcard please!

Re: Tears Flowing
Aw Gill it is the worst part, I thought I was doing ok but was inconsolable saying goodbyes to family and we both sat at the airport sobbing our eyes out 
was ok in Japan, Sydney melbourne cos it just felt like we were on holiday but as soon as we got to Hobart I thought jeez this is it, WTF have I done it hit me again and I just wanted to go home.
but we are 4 months on now and its much easier, speak to everyone regularly, we've bought a camcorder so we can send little videos home and really it does get better
you'll be right mate just let it flow

Re: Tears Flowing
I think thats the same as me. I just don't think it's hitting home. OH sold his car yesterday and even thats not fazed me. Maybe its because the stress of selling the house, (or not, as appears to be the case) is overshadowing everything. We are having a big party before we go and I just hope it doesn't sink in then - I don't want to spend the entire night in tears.

Re: Tears Flowing
Thanks Kay, that's what Ginny said too. I'm blubbing for Britain right now. It doesn't help that two of our very good friends split up this week. OH is destroyed that he's not going to be around to support his mate when he needs him most.
