So this evening I drove Ally to the airport to set off on his South East Asia holiday. James and David had said goodbye to him earlier at home because they were going to see Rush in concert tonight. We met up with Cat and her parents at the terminal and Ally and Cat quickly checked in their baggage for their flight to Dubai. Soon it was time to say our goodbyes, which was difficult even though I am pleased and excited for Ally and Cat. I gave Cat a hug goodbye and gave Ally a very big hug and he hugged me back and gave me a wee kiss too. Christine and I both had tears in our eyes, and I thought it was very moving when heard Gerry say to Ally, "Please take exceptional care of this young lady and bring her back in one piece." I had a little cry when I was back in the car, but only a little one, because this is a great adventure for Ally and my job is to support him and encourage him.
I went round to Jackie's for tea and she made a really delicious dish of pasta with Camembert and herbs and we had a good chat. Her boys are so sweet. I'm home now having a cup of tea with James and Davie, who enjoyed their concert very much - David is wearing a new Rush t-shirt and is very happy. And my boy Ally is in the air somewhere over Europe, heading south east on his dream holiday.
