3.The day was warm and the sun shone down like a new beginning on my life.I was waving goodbye to my son,the last one of my fledglings (刚会飞的鸟)to leave home and go to new woods."University actually"I felt so lighthearted after spending many years looking after my four children-cooking,washing,ironing,teaching them how to look after themselves and manage their financcs-that I nctually thought"At long last,freedom".But,as I watched my last one leave,although it was a joyous occasion,I realized I had not really prepared for this day,I was too tied up with bringing up these adults of the future to realize that they would all leave the nest and lives independently.
At first I didn't know what"I"wanted to do.I tried a part time job,which ended in me running out in tears.I started a business making soft furnishings,but that didn't work either.I got my own veggies and fruit,which lasted 3years,until I was advised by my doctor that my feet couldn't take any more"tools"driven through them.
It began wondering if I did have a future of my own,I cried for the life I was used to,and hadn't known or wanted anything different.
Then one day I saw an advert for foster parents,I discussed it with my husband who was always behind everything I tried and with great disturbance I rang up the number.
I now laugh and sing with my 14-year-old foster daughter,even when my cooker is a mess and my bathroom is a disaster area.I now know,8years later,what"I"was meant to be doing with all the spare hours,days,and weeks I had on my hands when my hands when my last fledgling flew thenest.The sun shines once again in my home.
