This boy is coming home;
He went off to University in Plymouth in September.
He's had wonderful adventures, seen marvellous thing's, made new friends, spent time with our/my British family, did well in his studies, voted in the British general elections and was right there when history was being made.
He'll be home for four months then returns to the land of hope and glory for another excellent adventure.
Last night, as I went to bed, I told Bobby, "Listen,,, William is coming". Her eyes went straight to the window and she started to dance around and bark. I would tell her that every day when William would come home from school. This morning I said it again and she ran to the window to look out and wag her tail.
One thing will be very different though, for the first time in his entire life William will be on the farm without Foxsun here. Foxsun, my middle boy, died a week after William left and is buried under the apple tree in the garden.

I know what it is like to have a son far away. Ours was only 12 hours away, at UC Davis, near Sacramento, but I cried for 2 HOURS after we left him, on the sidewalk, with his stuff! I just sobbed! He loved Davis, though, and had a great time there. He now lives about 12 miles from us!
