Silent Home

This is one instance when I just want to write down what I feel.

Parents and Son left London yesterday, back to Dubai and then on to India. And at the airport I came "this" "this" close to crying my guts out. It was like my heart was being torn apart....

I am not known to be an emotional or an attached person. I can live with the fact that my son stays with his father in Dubai and that I get to see my parents only once a year. But saying goodbyes, these days, is just a difficult task for me. Don't know whether it is because to meet any of them I have to fly 7 long hours or whether it is because I am growing older. Whatever the case is I like the new me. I am much more in touch with myself and my feelings. Not to mention the fact that my parents think that I have finally "thawed".

Now its just DH and me at home. There's no noise, loud talking, mom's home-made food or anything of the sort. The silence is eerie and I am learning to cope up with the loneliness.....

I think you are just getting in touch with yourself. It's a sign of growth.

Thanks Andrew, but today was just as bad. Went to clean the spare bedroom that my parents used while they were staying with us and it smelt of my mom's perfume. Awe, I would do anything to just hug my mom right now.

BTW, pls check out my new health blog (link on the side of my blog)..
