Default I think I understand your sadness.

It is beautiful to hear that you will miss your child. Some people are kinda glad to see them up and out.

Mine graduated from College a long time ago and lives about five blocks away but if I could I would have her live right next door.

When you feel sad about them going away to college or a new life, I was told to think of the GOOD things, like not waiting to hear them come in LATE. Like keeping their room REALLY neat. Like knowing that this is part of the big plan. Our job is to get them where they don't need us.

I hope this helps.

Come on down and visit us, I think you will love it.
