Sad Farewells

Now comes the sad part – the post-wedding let down. We all have to leave.

I am lucky, my son and daughter-in-law have flights around the same time as mine, so we meet early, grab some coffee and head for the airport. I am feeling choked and desolate; I enjoy their company so much and I hate to say good-bye.

“Don’t worry,” my daughter-in-law tells me as my son goes off to buy his breakfast once we have all checked in, “we know how hard these good-byes are for you and we understand. And we will see you again soon!”

Son comes back and DIL and I head over to pick up our breakfast – and oh, yummy, breakfast burritos!

We get the basic burritos, with chorizo sausage. Oh, to die for!

But imagine! These are sauces for the breakfast burritos, and they range from hot to super super hot!

Our gates our close, and my flight starts loading almost as soon as I arrive, which is a good thing, because I am about to die from desolation. I already miss them so much!

  3. It’s pretty difficult, that’s for sure. Are you coming back to Kuwait? If so, I’m afraid it’ll get worse once you find out it’s 48c/118f. I smell turkey cooking each time I go out into the sun.

    For what it’s worth, welcome back 🙂
