for in eight days, you shall be on the plane headed back to london. then to cardiff.
yes, you have been there before and you loved it. but this time, you'll love it even more, because your mother will finally see what you've seen and live the experience you've been playing in your head since you left last year.
yes, this time will be better. your mother will see how her hard work and sacrifice truly paid off. you yourself will physically see what comes after a full year of not seeing your relatives, friends and then-beloved -- especially when you don your graduation gown, put on your cap, and 'doff at the Ceremony itself.
your friends and family will celebrate with you on this great day. they may even watch the
live webcast (shameless plug) so they can hear your name being called.
wear your personal battle scars, family name and national flag proud, K. you freaking deserve it.
