Feeling Christmassy at my work leaving do

My last week in the UK consisted of catching up with friends, family, eating a lot of English food, consuming vast quantities of alcohol, and basically checking and double checking I have everything packed and sorted.

After finishing work and having one hell of a leaving do I took time out to go back to my mum’s to enjoy her company before I left. We had lots of long chats over many cups of tea about the decision I had made to change my life in this way. She has been a rock to me since the breakup with many a phone call to check that I was still alive and to tell me off for abusing my liver so much!

She is lucky enough to go to India with work in January for a conference but due to circumstance is going alone. When she told me this my immediate thought was “You can’t do that how will you cope alone?!” Then it occurred to me that is probably what she was thinking about me. I know I am capable to travel the world by myself so I’m positive she is too. I suppose you have these views of people’s abilities in your head without fully knowing if they can stretch themselves further to achieve even more. This doesn’t mean that I won’t be worrying about her and getting a taste of what she and the rest of my family and friends are probably thinking about me right now.
