I cannot believe today, my 18 year old first baby is off to uni. There have been a lot of tears, and I’m sure a lot more to follow.
I am firstly shocked, because I am far too young to have grown an adult 😂 but also just proud of this journey we have both been on. I have grown and learned more than I ever dreamed of, and continue to do so because of you.
I remember every person telling me how fast time goes and I hear myself saying it to new mums, mums of tots, tweens. Because it truly does. And it’s not until youre in the thick of it, and it flies by like a hurricane, and you think; oh s**t, it really does fly.
And I wouldn’t change any of those hurricane moments because it brought us to here; to the future ahead - the possibilities, the excitement, the journies. The people you’ll meet, the things you’ll do and see. It’s just overwhelming but in all the good ways.
Soar my fierce little bird, yes I’ll be sobbing the entire car journey home, but my heart will be bursting with joy and pride ###
