A friend was going through some old mail and came across a letter from Lindy written just 20 years ago. It says in part:Well in the Mulherin household we are counting down the days until Bennie begins school. We have purchased a few uniform bits and pieces and he's 'testing' them today - my how old I feel! I can still remember bits of 'prep' myself, which makes me feel a curious mixture of 'ancient' and 'young and silly'.
Quite apart from that is of course, the 'my baby's going to school' syndrome. It's all funny I guess but very real at this time. It's like suddenly seeing life through another window and knowing and realising that it is terribly, terribly short, the whole thing.
Great post, though I'm curious about the picture at the bottom, as I don't think it's from summer 1990 as Andy looks older than 1 month! :) But it's a nice picture nevertheless.
