I am absolutely hopeless at goodbyes, my oldest daughter was leaving the nest and moving to the big smoke about 35mins from us, we arranged to have her 21st the weekend before she was leaving, anyway every thing was fine up to the point where I had to make a speech and talk about her growing up and saying goodbye and wishing her well in the big smoke, well I got so dame emotional that I recon all 55 people at the party were crying with me, silly when you think of it, its not like I’ll never see her again. but it was funny afterwards when I pictured everyone else crying along with me.
so all I can offer you is you have to cut the cord and hope that your time with them is something they will remember the rest of their life.
