My parents left last night. Mum had been here for 2 mths and dad was here for 2 weeks. We travelled, spent time together and had a wonderful time. They loved Melb and Au and loved to see me, my new house. 

And now, my house just feels so barren. I have never cried so much before. Not in my wedding and not when I left Mumbai. And this time its like some dam has broken loose. I howled at the airport when I saw my dad, I cried at multiple times yesterday throughout and was walking around like a zombie around the house this morning. There was no mom and there was the extra food she has cooked and stored in the fridge. Enough to make the dam break again. 

I love (my) parents. They are the most wonderful people in the whole wide world. (Siblings and partners come close but not close enough!!)

I dont want to be this vulnerable. I know I love them enough but I dont want to cry when the leave and when they are not with me. I get scared of being so emotional. But then this is life. Attachment, love, feeling and all these emotions are a part of life. And my aim is to move beyond them. I believe I am happiest within myself. I only need to practice that belief more often!

In the mean time, partir, c'est mourir un peu... (parting, is to die a little).... and I could not agree more.
