I’m writing this in the Irish Pub at MEL airport.
I’ve just “put” my 2 girls on the plane to Perth to attend their father’s (my Ex) wedding.
Wonderful to see how they are now both beautiful women – no longer “girls”
- Yes, I’m celebrating with a glass of bubbles, even tho it’s just past 9 am.
It’s been 3 and a bit years since he (we) pulled the plug on what was fast becoming a sham marriage – all problems have been resolved, we’ve both re-partnered and remain on very good terms.
I handwrote him a long letter earlier this week – it should arrive today wishing him and his new wife well and telling him there is an open invitation for dinner/drinks at my house any time they can, and that there will always be a place in my heart for him. Not “love” that’s gone: but certainly fond memories.
I’m also happy that he’s got himself a good 100% heterosexual girl* – not someone who’s sexuality was so muddled as mine was.
So the plane’s left, the bubbles are gone and now it’s time for me (and my girls) to stop playing nostalgia and to get my own life in order and become a “proper” partner 365 days a year – not the “sleep-over” arrangement we have now.
Okay – I’ve got pay the outrageous parking fee we have here at MEL and get some work done.
*(Catty moment. girl??? 45!! Evidently she is very much a 100% hetero. In racing terms she has excellent form in that area over a long period of time. But only at Group 1 level: she's choosy!! Very good on a sticky track!!!!! :yikes2: ) ........okay that got rid of the slight bitchiness I feel now and then!!!!!!!!:eek2:
