Oh my goodness, thank you for understanding!!! I feel so much better just knowing I'm not the only one who feels this way. It caught me totally by surprise. I was wondering if anyone felt sad when they moved to TV and left their children in another state too. I am so glad to hear from you all that it does get better. This is only day 2 since my daughter left for college, so I'm still a bit raw. I expect moving someplace full of excitement like The Villages would help fill a lot of empty gaps that retirement and empty nests create. Plus having so many people to talk to and who understand must really help. You guys have been so helpful and kind to me. If anyone else wants to share, please do! I need all the wisdom I can get from others who have experienced it themselves.
