Tales of the ziplock bag



It took seven years since we first heard of her escapades. Back then, we had just had a child, and soon after a second one was underway. It felt like a far-off dream. Finally, with the little ones not so little, and people available to care for them whilst we would be away; it was going to happen. We were going. Remember when we bunked over at my brother’s place? No space to even stretch out our arms. Yet now we live in our great double storey palace with our two beautiful children. Big, strong boys. It was just as devastating to tell them that we were leaving them; temporary as it may have been. How could we make them understand that we needed to do this? That we had put our dreams on hold for them. Seven years, we put our dreams on hold, and raised them with all the love in our hearts. Now, now that they can fall asleep without longing for us. Now that they have school to look forward to, friends to keep them company, now. Now, we get to go.
