Some days the nest feels emptier than others…
Well, really it’s some NIGHTS. I don’t have time to think much about it during the day, I guess. At night, when it’s quiet, that’s when it hits…whenever it does.
We saw Tiffany today for the first time in five years. I guess that’s why I’m kinda bummed right now. Having to say hi and then bye again. And I had a great chat with Nathaneal, but right now, I’m focusing on the fact that he’ll be 18 in four short years. Those years are going to FLY by, and then he’ll be a grown man….well, hopefully. I don’t want him to make Tante’s life harder by NOT being a grown man.
Shit, this empty nest thing is KILLER, and totally NOT in a good way. I hear so many people say they can’t wait til their kids are out of their house. They are INSANE!!!!! The lonely hole left by their absence is horrible.
Mine is still little, but having him gone is awful… I don’t know who I am without him. On the other side, my parents are 3,000 miles away from my family and my sister’s family, and they always seem to be handling it well. Maybe that’s for our benefit.

I went thru the whole empty nest thing when I met Les and moved to Lousiana. Andy was 1500 miles away. we had never been apart. I did get thru it tho. Finding a hobby and also craft classes helped me. So did Weiner coming into my life. Ever think of fostering dogs or pups for a rescue organization?
