What single parents end up doing when their kids move out

posted on 7 December 2011

It would really be inappropriate and untrue to say that my mother is a selfish person because she is not. She is not a perfect individual either but we accept and appreciate her just as she is because she is the most amazing person in the world. We have all never met our fathers and she has never bothered to introduce us to them because she wanted to spare a lot of pain and hurt. She always said that a man who would abandon his family is not man enough and we all agreed with her. When she took us all to college and the rest of us moved out, she looked for something to do. We did not hear from her for a while so we went home to check up in her and we found letters and brochures of passport and cruises. We now understood the silence, we knew that she would never leave without telling us. So we waited for her and when she got home, we asked her what that was all about and she said that she was going to an international cruise for single folks and that is why she had renewed her passport. We did not know how to take the news but later on we gathered that she needed this, it is about time she just thought about herself.

On How a Village Starts to Bloom with Colorful Lights

posted on 4 December 2011

I live in a small village of about 2600 people, somewhere in the middle of Europe. At the beginning of November, all the different lights and decorations start to pop up like mushrooms after rain. It begins with All Saints Day and Halloween, with all the funny pumpkins, witches and scary faces. One can even connect smell of rotting leaves with these decorations and it all creates a beautiful atmosphere and then, subtly it changes into Christmas mood. All the neighbors decorate their windows with different stickers of snowflakes, snowmen and Christmas trees. Manuy people make handmade gifts they give to one another. The gardens are full of flashing rain-deers, sleighs and icicles. People visit shops full of Christmas smells, to buy all the different ingredients so they can again test their baking abilities the same way they do each year. When evening comes, and you are lucky it is also foggy, you may see gorgeous play of lights, smell winter and Christmas time.

About My Experience of Caravan Holidays

posted on 2 September 2011

I decided to look at caravans for sale in the UK because I was getting tired of hotel holidays. When I go by caravan my holiday becomes less of a stressful experience. I can pop in and out whenever I want, which means the caravan becomes a real holiday home, a second place where I and my family can live. If I'm tired, the caravan is nearby and I can put my head down for 30 minutes nap. The caravan takes me away from the strains and stresses of life, even just for a day and a night. It is easy and time saving way for a holiday. I need not worry about checking in or checking out or any time limit or any other restrictions. It’s just great to be able to get away at a moment's notice without having to book a hotel. I am planning a bigger trip this year to Europe with my caravan.

A Date to Remember with my Best Friend

posted on 25 February 2011

My best friend and I were planning to have a vacation at Singapore to celebrate my 25th birthday this February. Since I don&rsquot have a boyfriend whom I can come along with, I chose my best friend to accompany me. Besides, she will be marrying by April and I want to spend time with her before she becomes an official &ldquowife&rdquo. I know the next time I want her to accompany me with my tours it would be harder to ask time for her because she will be having her new priorities. Before we get the chance to travel abroad, we would need to renew our passports since both of our passports will be expiring after 4 months. It is required a minimum of 6 months expiration before we are permitted to enter other countries. The passport processing time may vary, depending on how fast you are able to work on it. Mostly, it would only take a week or two to be processed. I am very excited for this trip both of us will make sure we will enjoy our bonding.
