Like many parents, I can’t believe how fast my
children are growing up. Remember how, when they were babies, everyone
said: ‘Enjoy it while you can – they grow up so quickly!’ You don’t
believe it at the time, of course, when you simply
can’t see beyond the feeding and the nappies and the nights…
But, I can testify that it really does go
fast. And this was brought home to me with a bang this week when I
attended my eldest’s GCSE information evening. She makes her GCSE
choices in just a few weeks’ time – how on earth did that
happen?! I then did a quick calculation and realised that she would be
leaving home in just over four years, which is simply stunning.
In
another two years, both my children will have left home and my husband
and I will have to find new (or rediscover old)
ways of filling our time. By then, we will both be in our fifties –
something else which I find very hard to believe…
