This week Big G said cheerio to his American job and came back to start a cooler one in the UK. No more trans-Atlantic commuting for him. He flew into Heathrow in the early morning sunshine, with 3 duffle bags and a back-pack. We loaded up the Toyota and drove home.In the 19 months he's been working abroad, I've been bending under the weight of loneliness, stress and frustration, all crammed into a stiff, prickly bag called self-pity, sitting heavy on my shoulders. I'm tough enough and didn't break ... with a little help from my friends and family ... but I do declare there have been some very gloomy days.
And how do I feel today? Today I feel relief. Relief, relief, relief.
you are def strong to keep it together for that time. glad you all are together again...it is better :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's wonderful. Altogether again. Must feel like a weight has been lifted>
ReplyDeleteYou poor darling...so glad that all's well that ends well! Separation anxiety was a frequent disease with me, I know where your heart's at!

Brilliant GS, so pleased for you. You did marvels to keep everything up together while he was away.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been so hard. So glad he's home.
ReplyDeleteWow, how on earth did you cope? I am a nervous wreck even when The Doctor is away for a few days. You must celebrate in style...
ReplyDeleteYay! Yay! Yay!
ReplyDeleteIronically, my husband is in London right this minute, doing his own transatlantic stint.
Hooray!

ReplyDeleteOh so good! I was so relieved when Hamish came back from Malawi, and he was only away for ten days. Don't know how you coped, but there you are, a stronger person.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad for you. You no longer have to put on that face for the troops! You have your support back here. :0)
ReplyDeleteWonderful news. My husband has worked away a lot and still does. Usually I get to see him at the weekend so I can imagine how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog to find out what life is like back in the south after living Cheshire. There is an award for you on my blog.
How great you've got him back and you're all together again Lx
