...at the moment, and it hit me - I must look exactly like that Bridget Jones did when she was feeling sorry for herself *cue infamous lonely loser song*:
..and frankly, I don't care. I miss my mum so much. She left Geneva about 4hrs ago, and in 20 minutes she'll be on an Auckland bound plane from London. It's crazy how time flies and especially when you're enjoying life so much. We spent a good month together with a couple of days in NZ, which come to think of it doesn't count because I was cheering on the Manu in Hamilton while she did her tapuaiga from Auckland. But that's for another post.......
Anyhoo, we traveled back together to Geneva after that and for just over three weeks, Mum was here with me. It was so good. We talked every evening after work. We watched rugby together (and passionately might I add!!). We went for walks. We explored the city. We went back to where we used to live (and where Dad died). We visited Berlin. We laughed, gossiped and prayed together. We did SO much together. Basically, we bonded even more. We strengthened each other. As mother and daughter but also as adults. Actually, more like she strengthened me and encouraged me and gave me so much more than I could ever reciprocate!! Ah crap, just writing about it has started the water works again...
I love Mum so much and I'm so blessed to have had this time with her. She is for me the epitome of quiet dignity and strength and has this infallible faith which has kept our family going through all the difficult and heartbreaking times. I am who I am because of her love for me. Thanks Mum.
And on that note, I leave you with this picture of mummy dearest and I, while I go and finish the chips, chocolate and soda I bought for my solo pity party!

lol...i just posted up a pity party entry as well when I saw your update. something in the air...maybe we can combine our two parties? won't be as lonely...hehe.
glad you had a good time with your mom. we never really appreciate our mothers until they leave do we? mine is in NZ for almost a month now and won't come back until end of the year...i started missing her the moment she left the house :(
sending you love from my little corner...:)
can i join the solo pity party?
my mom is leaving me in 2 weeks and I'm already depressed. I only see her probably once a year if we're lucky. Sa'o lelei ms drifter, we never really appreciate our mother's until they leave.
Hope you're feeling better. What a special relationship you have with your mum. Very cool. :) Makes me realise how much I miss my own mum. Can't wait to see her again.
Cherish every moment with loved ones cos life is too short man.
Peace.
