In Two Years Time...

When my girl gave me this pack of brochures on Friday, it suddenly struck me she is not my "baby girl" anymore and she is growing to be a "grown-up."


Reality seeps in.... in two years time or less, she will be leaving the Nest and home ....

In less than 2 years, I will be alone....
In less than 2 years, I might be sitting here quietly, still punching the keyboard furiously away.... Or in less than 2 years, I will retire and "uproot" myself to be nearer to my kids...
Don't know what will happen and no matter what...
In two years time, the decision will come...

no need 2 years to be a grandma, only need 9 months.

At least you have dog as companion, when all your kids are away. That's how I comfort my mum.

Have a nice day, Claire.

I wrote a comment on this post at the same time I commented on your number plate post. But now I don't see it, so I'll re-do. So much can happen in two years, but I know everything will be fine. It looks like she'll be getting a business degree. Do your other daughters live nearby?
