The parents have left the building. *sigh* I drove them to the airport this morning @ 4am, and litterally minutes after they left my arms from one last hug, I had tears in my eyes. I missed them already, I was nervous for them, happy they were finally going on a vacation alone, but sad at the same time.
I know I have issues with separation with them, and the more it goes, the more I'm finding that i'll have to deal with it. It's especially hard with my mom, as we're really close and usually call each other between 2-4 times a day.
I spent most of the day jumping back and forth between their house and mine, keeping things going. They did call today once they were on the boat, and it made a world of difference. I guess i'm thinking about all this because i'm wondering if I am the only one who has this separation anxiety..or is it even that?
It's like my mind/emotional mind is like a rubber band. When I was a child, I couldn't bare with the thought of being apart from my parents, and several times I had to come home from sleepovers at friend's placed. Then as I got older I wanted more independance, needed to find myself and break away. Now, especially since i've moved away, and my relationship with my parents has grown much stronger i've begun to attach myself again.
I know, weird. Oh well..all that to tell you i've got a shitty cold, miss my parents, and can't wait to get back to work to get my mind off these things. I feel better that I spoke to them, I can actually get a good night's sleep tonight knowing they are safe and happy on the ship. Now I just need to get them back.

I like the way you goof around with the camera. Very pretty.

I wish I could relate. Basically, I had no parents, I had two arguing providers... one claimed my elder brother, the other my younger sister. So I raised myself.
