I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

🤗💕 @CheerBear .....
It is hard to let them go ..... but I am satisfied that they are great humans, full of personality, creativity, feistiness in its different forms, with enquiring minds, brave-with-enough-chicken-too, witty and fun.

All those changes are huge @CheerBear at the best of times. I think all those transitions are big but I understand how much bigger they will feel for you because of your situation. Lots of big deep breathing.

You are right @Faith-and-Hope. It doesn’t matter how you get there. I’m just really grateful that both have jobs already that they love. Now there’s a story of part luck @CheerBear, how he ended up at the company he did.

Guess dolphin are kitted out to keep swimming too @CheerBear ..... 😊
Thanks for that. It’s a special image to carry with me, and a lovely analogy to being there, encouraging but not having to either drive or rescue all the time.

I think @Faith-and-Hope might be a dolphin too @CheerBear. I think I used to be a rhino 🤦♀️, pretty sure my kids would back that assessment up but one of the good things I’ve got out of therapy is to learn to be more of a dolphin 😊.
Sorry things have been been so tough @CheerBear.
