Time flies

A while I wrote to you about how the mother bird puts her beak up her little ones behind and pushes them from the nest and I may have mentioned that I envied her courage.  Well, maybe I should rephrase that.  You see my little fledgling has decided that it is time for him to fly solo.  And the opportunity that he has been given means that he is flying a long way away from this tree.  Well, may I say that this doesn’t feel exactly as I had imagined.  In fact, if I’m completely honest – it’s horrible.  I can’t even think about it without wanting to cry.  Of course I’m happy for him.  It’s a great opportunity for him and one that he would have been crazy to turn down.  I also want him to succeed in life and follow his passions and his dreams and of course, I know that one day he would fly and be free, but lets face it – this isn’t about him, is it?  It’s about poor old mum!  I’m not ready for my babies to be grown up and totally independent.  Yes, I am very proud of him and the young man he has grown into but where did my baby go?  It honestly felt like yesterday that I brought him home from hospital (well actually it was only yesterday that I brought him home from hospital but that was because he fell off his motorbike).  Sigh.  Time just goes by so quickly.  And even though I tried really hard not to, I still blinked.  And in that blink 18 years passed as quickly as that.  Life moves to the next chapter whether we are ready for it or not and I guess I’ll just have to hang on and enjoy the ride and know that no matter what – I’ll love him, I’ll miss him and I’ll count the days til he comes home again and be grateful that I still have one little baby bird still safely tucked into this nest.  So my beautiful boy, know that I am extremely proud to be your Mum and that I wish you all the success and happiness you deserve but remember  - I know where you will be living so if you don’t come home to visit me then I’ll be coming to visit you J
