<p>VeryHappy’s username is somewhat reassuring to those of us with impeding empty nests. The second of our three went to college in the fall, and now the last one is in HS. I’m pretty stoic about the passage of time - it’s the only thing that’s certain in life, and it’s one of those things over which we have no control - but it seems to impact my wife more deeply. When the youngest leaves HS, we’ll have not been a full-time couple for 23 years and I wonder how that re-adjustment will go.</p>
