As I write, my mum's currently sitting at Leeds Bradford Airport waiting for her delayed flight back to Belfast. Thankfully it should only be 40 minutes late in taking off - at the moment.
She's only been here four days but she'll certainly be missed, especially by her new grandson.
Everyone has been wanting to hold Jamie since he came along but no-one more than her. Almost every time we've changed and fed him, we've simply deposited him back in her arms and prepared for another three hours plus off duty.
This has been particularly welcome first thing in the morning when, after his 6.30 feed, we've simply taken him into my mum's room and returned to bed until around 10. Absolute luxury.
Shortly before she left today, we picked her up a webcam with the plan of setting up some regular video chats with the three of us on Skype.
She also bought (yet another) gift for Jamie which looks brilliant and exactly what we needed. More of that later in the week.
The only downside of today was being told by the staff at the Stone Trough pub near the airport that we had to sit outside to eat as under 14s weren't welcome through their door. It's a door I'll not be crossing again in the future, you can be sure of that (and no, I didn't swear!)
And then it was back to the car - Jamie in his special seat - to prepare to wave Granny White off.
Jamie hopes she'll come back soon.
