Welp. I think many of you will remember my first posts with Lily as a baby in my arms whilst I still managed to carry on playing games.
This week she moves out. She got into Aberdeen uni to study zoology. Which in itself is quite the thing as she only realised it was truly the thing she wanted to pursue in m the middle of fifth year so didn’t do the preceding qualification. She needed an A in higher biology this year to get in, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone go for what they want with quite the intensity that she managed. I’m super proud of her.
Anyway. She’s away to Aberdeen for freshers week in a couple of days. We take her up on Saturday to get her moved in to her digs . Stay over at a hotel. And then wave goodbye in Sunday at least until she feels the need to get some washing done.
Both me and Rachel are finding it quite hard but at the same time just super proud. It is very difficult to let her go. But by the same token it’s not even a choice.
Will be needing some distractions for the foreseeable future.
