A nice surprise
So, it looks like I'll be getting a visit from my Son, Falcon, in about 4 weeks. Its been over a year since I've seen him. I never want that kind of time lapse between seeing each other, even again. The primary reason I'm intent on moving back to the UK is to be near my kids.
Most parents are proud of their kids, and that's certainly true for me. They are each stunning individuals, and I'm so lucky that they value me and our relationship. I know plenty of adults who don't have much to do with their parents. I can think of few things more horrifying than the notion of not getting along with my kids.
As for me and my ailing mom, we're getting along fabulously. She's very worried about what's gonna happen to me. She mentions it daily. I repeatedly reassure her that I'll be alright. I've an agreement with my siblings not to accept any more money from mom - she keeps trying to give me money - cos there's not much left, and mom may need it herself.
I think I'll be starting a GoFundMe to help with getting the money to relocate. Its slightly humiliating, pitching for money from people I barely know, or even don't know. Nevertheless, worrying about my pride is less important than getting back to be near my kids and closest friends.
