We've Come To Far To Give Up

3rd of May, and I'm sitting inside, listening to the rain battering off the windows.

In opening the back door, I half flooded the kitchen.

3rd of May.

9 months exactly Since Boy left for his third year in USA.

9 months which have gone in no time at all.

9 months in which he has travelled to New York, Ohio, Philadelphia and stayed in Brooklyn over Christmas.

9 months in which he has discovered his writing mojo and this semester, so far, has scored 5 A's and 1 C. (the C will be Spanish - he tells me he understands how to conjugate he just doesn't know what he is saying.)

9 months in which Toolibelle left home, and began a life at University.

9 months in which Si and I grew used to living alone, together again, by ourselves and enjoying our own company again.

9 months, which come to an end TOMORROW.

BOY IS HOME TOMORROW!!!

Can you believe it??? he has already left Mount Olive and is on his way home to his MUM!!!!

Come on Boy?? Are you here yet?


Edited an hour later... the rain stopped, and the sky stayed dark, but as the sun disappeared behind the hills, these little clouds were all lit up too gorgeous!
