True to his usual form, Nick has managed to disrupt things for everyone else this Christmas.
I should have known. Despite my best efforts to organise everything and actually plan who would be where, he left it until 3:30 this afternoon to tell me he is going to Cornwall. Of course he had Gemima with him today so he told her this morning, knowing that although everything was arranged for her to come with me this year, that she would want to go to Cornwall to see her cousins.
Crafty, sneaky bastard.
Suffice it to say, Gemima, Nick and his brother, Alex are all currently en route to Cornwall as I type.
If I had known a couple of weeks ago that this would happen, I would have had time to prepare myself emotionally. As it is, there is no time for that now for me or for Aaron... or for Gemima for that matter.
I went round to the house to say goodbye to her before they left. It was hard not to cry. I don't want her to feel guilty about going - I want her to have fun and enjoy herself.
But when she gave me her teddy so that I would have something to cuddle while she was away, I couldn't help myself. I cried just a little bit.
So that's both my girls who won't be with me this year.
I will miss them...
:(
