My Son
HiWell he has gone, now living in Taiwan.
I will miss him tremendously, a genuinely lovely young man.
Incredibly supportive of me, when Mum left, I was totally devastated.
He left Uni before his finals to come and look after me.
I am as hard as nails professionally, but personal things seriously affect me.
He spent a year looking after his Dad, much to his detriment, he had a fantastic job offer.
It did not help him at all, seriously affected his results, he was slated for a double first, ended up with a 2/2.
He worked his way up,a high earner here in the UK, but fed up with the system.
He was a ordinary kid, no private schools, just the local Infant, Junior and Comprehensive.
He went into banking,initially, spilt up with long term partner two years ago, he just did not fit in with the Public School Bunch.
Seconded out to Public Service, again did not fit in with the Hurrah Henrys.
I am no mug, but he is far more intelligent than I am.
He has a stunningly attractive lady.
I cannot see him coming back.
She is as intelligent as he is, a specialist in film special effects.
I will miss him.
My estranged daughter is also moving abroad.
A direct result of Brexit, she is off to Germany, as bright as a button, but her company is moving there.

Re: My Son
We know our kids are going to leave us one day Swimmy, but I imagine it is much harder when they choose to go so far away, but try not to be sad.I hope they both keep in touch often, so you know how their new lives are going. Will you be able to visit?
No doubt you will miss them greatly, but all you can do is wish them happiness and success, and know you have taught them how to look after themselves.
Perhaps it's time you found yourself a good lady to care about, it'll keep you out of mischief!

My injuries are such that longhaul is out of the question, my maximum flying time is five hours now, then a 24 hour stopover minimum.
That is when I am good, I have just managed to get myself injured again.
Stomping around with a leg brace on.
I would love to get myself a nice lady, but I am no great catch at the moment.
Such is life, nobody said that is was fair.
I will survive, I always do,
Just my luck to get back with the NHS Strike on.

Re: My Son
Your boy sounds a selfless person Gibbs and a credit to you
try not to be too sad . We have to let them go .When my son left home for good I felt bereft and cried for a week. It had been just the two of us since he was six years old.
I realised I would now be spending the rest of my life alone.
I worked night and day to fill the lonely hours and gradually adjusted to my new situation.
I hope you can do the same Gibbs and are able to find contentment in time..
