It doesn't help that today my son left for uni. Until now, because of Covid and a spell of poor health, he has taken all his coursework online as he fought his way through test after test back to at least a physically functional state.
So, today is the day that fills every father with conflicting strong emotion. My job is done. I'm very proud of the man he's grown into but at the same time the sense of loss, both of the child and of purpose, is profound.
What a confusing emotional roller coaster these last two days have been. I can very easily descend into a state of great depression, but that would not be in keeping with the examples set by either of them, now would it.
