We still drop everything when they call and our house has been empty for over a decade.

It is a big change, but now that I am well past the first part, and while I miss my son & family who live far away when they leave, It is a joy to see my grown up kids with children of their own, making good lives. And I like their friendship as adults. I do remember how hard those first times were though. I hear you!<br />Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372379768872379712.post-37586326624870760572016-02-16T06:47:29.693-05:002016-02-16T06:47:29.693-05:00It is quite a change and you have captured it well...It is quite a change and you have captured it well! I went from a family of 4 with two cats, to a single mother with cats and teens, to having one go off to uni, then the other. This summer one of the cats died, so now we are two. It is a change- and I miss the kids, but it is so nice to see them being adults.

And I probably shouldn't confess that I cried regularly on trips to the grocery store right after my boys left…Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.com
