to know that my nearest relative (in any sense of the word) is 6 000 km away.
They're all gone to France for the summer, and I remain the only member of my family this side of the Pond.
I wouldn't say it feels lonely, but it's slightly sobering. I can't rely on my parents at all for the next two months. It's likely that I won't even be in contact with them aside from letters, and those take at least a couple of weeks to cross over.
The baby bird is out of the nest.

In different guises we are all baby birds leaving the nest throughout our life. And ultimately we leave the nest of life.
Good luck.
two weeks for a letter to cross the Pond? My letters to New Zealand from a remote Scottish Island only take 5 days! But it is downhill of course.
Good luck, fledgling. Watch out for eagles!
