Alexandra Leaving........

She's leaving home today, she is quietly packing up forty five pair of shoes, her thirty something handbags, her collection of skulls, her great, great Grand Mere's collection of fox furs, three cartons of denims, countless blouses, dresses, and everything else a twenty four year old, fashion savy PR girl moves around with........My heart is sad.

I will miss her beautiful face, always smiling.  I will miss her up beat happy moods..

 I will miss having a cheeky wine with her in the afternoons.....and listening to her notions of the world.

I will miss walking past her bedroom, smelling the lingering scent of her favourite perfume, sighing and closing the door........

I will miss tidying up her bed, gathering her clothes to be washed, and putting her things away....

I will miss looking at all her pretty bits and pieces....

I will miss admiring all her quirky possessions.......

and her racksssss of eclectic fashion and remember when I was once like her..... 

 I will miss seeing her shoes kicked off here and there around the house. 

I know you will laugh at this,  my gorgeous Alexandra has only been home for three months but it always feels like she's never left.  Each time she comes home, I enjoy getting to know more about her.   I see her, creative and talented,  I see this soft and beautiful person.  I feel her warmth and generousity.  

Tomorrow when I wake, I won't hear her alarm, I won't hear her tinkering around in the kitchen, or slamming the big front door as she dashes out yelling, "Bye Mum, I'm late".
Her room will be empty.
I loved her like there was no tomorrow when she was born.  I could not believe in the wonder of this new life and the humble sense of being, this unexpected miracle God has bestowed upon me.....

Good Luck Lady Pants.....................
