A year ago this week, we took both our children to university. The quietness in the house is a testament to the milestones achieved – both of my kids are now at university. As I sit here, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride in their accomplishments. The pride is, however, tinged with a hint of nostalgia, for I miss them both dearly.
The journey to this moment has been a long and rewarding one. Watching my children grow, learn, and ultimately embark on their own educational adventures has been a source of immense joy. Their pursuit of knowledge, independence, and personal growth fills me with a sense of accomplishment as a parent.
Yet, with this newfound quiet, I can't help but reflect on the memories we've created within these walls. From the laughter echoing through the hallways to the late-night conversations that only a mother could have with her children, our home has been a hub of love, learning, and growth.
Now, as they navigate the world on their own, I am reminded of the importance of allowing them the space to spread their wings. It's a bittersweet feeling, knowing that they are forging their paths, facing challenges, and experiencing life's adventures without my daily presence. But it's precisely this independence that I've strived to nurture in them over the years.
As I write this, my heart swells with pride once more. The quiet house is a testament to their success, and I know that they are well-equipped to conquer the world. Our home may be quieter now, but the love, support, and pride that reside here will forever remain.
In this chapter of our lives, I am learning to embrace the empty nest, cherishing the moments we shared while eagerly anticipating the adventures that lie ahead for both of them. This was my life 12 little months ago, so much has changed, yes the house is still so quiet, but now the laughter and late night chats with Sophie will never return, the memories we made - that, and artefacts, is all I have left of my beautiful angel.
How do you even start to understand this ???
