Party Paws

Hi everyone hope your all well & enjoying the weekend

mine has been a bit emotional...but in a good way

my son told me he got a job (he finished Uni this year)

.....The job is in Mexico 

OMG I have cried loads, not that i`m not pleased for him 

but for selfish reasons i will miss him so much

He will also miss his Graduation in October

& i was so looking forward to that...but hey ho

i`m so proud of him, & so pleased he has the job he wanted

He will be a PE Teacher & coach at an academy 

Being a mum can be bitter sweet sometimes
