Bereft

Clearing out the girls bedroom today and getting clothes ready for going back to school. Whilst ironing I had an overwhelming feeling of loss and sadness. I imagined opening the suitcases after having flown back to Muscat where we lived for six years, as we always came home for the holidays and flew back two days before school re started. I loved emptying the suitcases and sorting out all the goodies we had brought back with us. And the first night back in our huge bed knowing we would sleep late and get up to the sun beating down. I really loved my two lives, one in Oman and one in Scotland!
