      It may get worse. My 3 have all grown up, graduated college and been quite successful. Unfortunately that success has led to job opportunities spread across the country… Oregon, Maine and Arkansas. Having them all gone and so far away is really, really hard. They are doing so well and I talk to them often, but I miss seeing them face-to-face and it’s rare to have them all together. It makes me very sad even though I’m happy for them.

      I’m in the same boat, and it’s a mixed bag. When they were little I used to yearn for some time alone to do my own thing, and now that I have it I want nothing more than for them to be climbing all over me again.

      At least you and I have each other ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
