People tell me that time is a good healer. That the pain will go away. BUT WHEN. At this moment in time l am a complete mess.Tears seem to come and go. I try to keep busy and just get on with normal life, I am a divorced mum who has brought up two children on her own. The eldest is 28 and still lives at home. My youngest is 24, he finished uni last year. Was offered a great job miles away from here. I am happy for me. But l miss him so much. He's untidy, and hates housework at the best of times. Just like a normal lad. My problem is when l visit him or if he visit me. When it comes to packing and saying Goodbye which upsets me. I do try heard to hold it together, Will get help one way or another.

Hi I know you are missing your sons? you have 2? i take it you have a good relationship with your son who just moved so he will call you and visit you. do you have a place that work during the day?

that should help some and at night when you are home maybe for a while you can talk to him at least every other day or so. I talk to my sons every other day or so. Even when they were over seas they skyped me once a week. when our sons have a close relationship with us they will keep in touch. I used to tell mine. Alright you guys you gotta call, text, skype, or email me at least once a week even if it is just to say I am alive! and they did! It was kind of a joke but I meant it and they still do it and both of them are out of the military now! maybe you can tell your son something like that! I hope this helps! take care and God bless!
