Life changes
Life changes, both in good ways and in bad.
I step onto the landing and it's so strange to look at my son's room and see nothing in it. The house seems so empty. I'll miss him, but I'll get over it.
The good news is that he's bought a house with the woman he loves and moved into it on Saturday. He's living within 40 mins walk and 15 mins cycle ride and we'll still see each other at least twice a week what with morris dancing and board games.
It's been a long haul. He's spent a year and a half travelling to Aberystwyth every other weekend without fail. He met C through Anonymous Morris and then she got a university contract in Aberystwyth and left Dorset.
Henry takes after his father. Proctor men don't give up easily when they fall in love. His father spent two years commuting to Norwich every weekend during term time to be with me - he graduated two years before I did.
C is a lovely person. Intelligent, great dancer, enjoys board games, friendly, helpful - perfect for him, and watching the two of them together never fails to make me smile.
They're engaged and will probably get married next Spring.
That's both the children settled in homes close by - I know I'm fortunate in that. My kids both wanted to work locally and to keep in close contact. We're a close knit family - may have something to do with all those family board games, or the influence of our respective parents, or pure luck.
