First summer my oldest child isn't coming home for the summer.

My son is in his last year of college, and has rented a house so he isn't coming home this summer. I find myself really missing him even though he's in college 9 months out of the year. And I have two kids at home this summer, but I'm still feeling down and lost without him. I guess that was the last bit of apron string. I didn't think I would feel this bad, but it has hit me hard. Anybody else ever felt like this? And if so, what did you do? (besides cry cuz your baby is gone for good out of the nest)

I know that you must feel sad. Just recently my daughter moved out adn it tok me two days then it hit me hard adn I kept crying. It's normal for you to feel this way.

Oh,sodapop,it's really a pity thing.I'm sorry my son is not enough as him.But i can feel what your feeling is because i am a mother too.For me i think if it's allowed why don't you take the two youths to see his brother as a travel in fact.My idea he is miss you too.After all he just a boy.May be it can't help you.I do may you happy.

Thank you for your comment. Since my son is in another state, it would make a nice trip. That's something to think about. Thanks!
