<p>It’s sad, but it’s also an opportunity to rediscover yourself and your spouse. I became an empty-nester of sorts this time last year. There were a few sad months figuring out how to re-invent myself. Now things are good, and I’m doing some things professionally that I didn’t think I would ever do. Also, I’m an active volunteer for our upcoming Library Fair. I used to be an active volunteer at my son’s last school, but didn’t do much for the town. I’m not looking forward to bringing my only back to school. However, it will be much easier than last year.</p>
