So I'm through those mysterious gates of Tullamarines International Departure Lounge. The mood throughout the airport seems to be one of exhaustion and resignation. It's been a week of hugely mixed emotions: A ride that's taken me from excited, to sick, to apathetic, to thinking that I have, in fact made a monumental mistake. And now here I am, excited, lonely (how can this be??), unsure, riddled with titredness, a deep fear that I have taken the entire contents of Yarraville with me, and a huge amount of relief that I am finally standing here.
I have been blessed this week with amazing displays of friendship and love. I have felt special and wanted and like my presence will be missed. I think this will be a 3 months to remember!!
My girl, mum and dad and best friend were all at the airport, cheering me on, holding back their own tears (and my sweet girl, it's fine that a few overflowed at the end!! I feel loved and missed and valued). I feel brave. And I never expected to.
I hope that it all goes to plan, and I hope that my tiredness doesn't take the edge off. I need a couple of sleeps and then I think the high excitement will run through my body like a river. Hopefully a river that feels more like the Danube than the Murray!
SO to those who have wished me off well this week. I thank you, love you and will miss you.
Bon Voyage!
(ooh my plane should be ready to board! Hurrah!)
