Last night, I nearly had a heart attack. I’d just come home from a party, feeling all smug about staying out past 9pm, when I walked into our cozy rainforest cocoon and from the dark, a couple of shadowy figures casually said, “hey”

Naturally, I old-lady yelped, “Who the fuck are you?!” (Because obviously, I’m calm under pressure and would thrive in a crisis situation)

Then….. laughter, that familiar, beautiful laughter ♡

My kids.

My bambinos.

They’d driven three hours ~ just to surprise me. And suddenly, the fear turned to tears and I was hugging them so tight, my heart overflowing ♡

There’s something beautiful about watching your kids become adults ~ humans with their own lives, jobs, partners, ideas and realising they choose to come home ♡

Not because they have to, but because they want to……It’s this sweet, full-circle moment: the little humans you raised are now your friends.It’s the best feeling in the world ♡

The house feels warmer and louder today. And I wouldn’t have it any other way ♡

Because one day they just…….drive 3 hours in the dark to find you and in that moment, all the chaos, all the parenting, all the worry, makes perfect sense ♡

Thank you my little memes xx
