Empty Nesting

My son graduated college and got a job in June. Now he lives 90 miles away and I keep thinking he will come home for the weekend like he did when in college but of course he has his own stuff going on now. This was my last baby to leave the nest and even though he was only here on weekends while he was in college, the house just seems emptier and quieter now.

It sure is something to get used to. We are well used to it now and enjoy the freedom.

It takes awhile to get used to an empty nest. Mine left some time ago and my nest still feels empty.

I have the same feeling as you do. I have two sons. My elder son is now married after graduating from college. Now they work and live in a faraway city from us. Now it is not easy for us to be together with each other except when we enjoy our summer holidays and winter holidays. Glad that we have a baby son nearly nine years old. Otherwise we parents would feel lonesome.
