My Mum flew from Coffs to Sydney yesterday morning and her flight out of the country wasn't until late last night so we picked her up and bought her out to our place for the day, which was just what I needed.

We all took my Mum to the airport last night. It was pretty hard as no-one is allowed in the departure lounge......so no long drawn out goodbyes or sad waves as she walks out the exit......which is probably a good thing as I'm such a sentimental sook.....LOL

The boys were so excited to see all the planes coming and going.....Luke couldn't get enough of them.

I gave Mum all the lectures about being safe and what she needed to do in case she got into trouble, everyone thought I was going overboard but I made sure Mum knew where the Australian Embassy was.....LOL.

So anyway after she went through to the depature lounge, which was 1 hour before she had to leave, we left. As we were driving out of the airport my phone starts to ring and I just knew it was her........I scrambled for my phone but was too late and it went straight to message bank, I rang her back but she's turned her phone off I've listened to her voice message so many times now. She was just ringing to say goodbye for the last time and to tell me she'd ring me as soon as she landed in America, I could hear her voice shaking.... I was just so angry at myself for not getting to the phone in time, I think she needed to hear my voice and I needed to hear her's. I know she's going to have an amazing time and I hope she even finds love. Nobody deserves that happy ever after ending more than my Mum.

My Mum's first stop over was in Tokyo this morning where her next flight wasn't till 10 hours later, she did manage to get on the net though and send me an email, which absolutely made my day.

She'll get into the States at 8:30am tomorrow morning my time, and 6:30pm her time. she promised me she'd ring me as soon as she get's there. I'll be working but the girls all know and I've already warned them that no matter what I'm answering that phone call.....LOL

Ok, so enough of my emotional rambling....sorry guys
