Kids going far away

And… you want to know something else? My D is only 3 hours away, and I cry each time she leaves to go back to school. She doesn’t come home more than the school vacations, and yes, it’s by bus rather than plane, but she is still gone and the nest is still empty. I don’t think it’s different just because it’s far. It hurts either way. I’m told we will get used to it. Somehow, I both believe that advice and I also know there will always be a little hole in my heart… But the happiness and pride that we feel for our fledglings helps a lot. We knew it was coming, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Would we??? Hang in there. It’s the natural order of things. It hurts.
