This is going to sound so silly to those of you who have seen their children off to uni or to join the army,etc. It
sounds silly to me considering I spent half my married life on my own as my husband was in the forces! Our only daughter gave her job up on Thursday, with our blessing, as her boss was a nightmare and I know you have to face this in life, but as long as we can protect her from these things we will! We talked it all through and told her we would support her any way we could. Next thing we know she has been booked on flights, all expenses paid, to the USA by her boyfriend, who is travelling there with his family, the next day! Now, while I can see this as a marvellous opportunity and maybe one you can only avail yourself of when you are 22, I felt she should have been here looking for a new job. My heart is also breaking because I just plain miss her so much - yes, I know she is only gone for a fortnight but that is not stemming the flowing tears at the minute - is there anyone out there who understands how I feel or am I super-pathetic?
great as that opportunity is, I thought it was a bit rich
