The Empty Nest Syndrome

     The time has come, my youngest son is leaving. He is beginning a new life in Aurora ILL. And this coming week we will say our goodbyes. I will miss him and worry about him and wonder when I will  ever see him again (my eyes are tearing up) it is hard even though we have gotten on each others nerves, and disappointed one another at times I still remember the child's eyes that looked up to me like I had all of the answers and the world at my feet.
     If only that belief in Daddy could have lasted a lifetime, but the day came when I could hold on to that status no longer. He came home from school one day and said, "Mom, could you help me with my homework" and she said,"I'm cooking dinner, ask your father" and he replied, "I'm not asking him anything, all of his information is old and out of date" That dart shot into me like a fire arrow. But there was a plus side I didn't have to do anymore homework.
     My oldest son Sam lives here in town, but doesn't bring our grandson over near as often as we would like. (all of you grandma's and grandpa's know) But it is in the Bible that this is the way of our species, so be it! It's depressing at times, but, So Be It! My youngest said he will set me up with Skype before he goes, so we can talk, no telling what he will say once he realizes he is out of my reach ;^)

     Please pray for him and for me I know it will be a difficult transition for me. Love is so powerful, sometimes the joy is so great it can't be explained and sometimes it hurts so much that you don't think you will survive it, and everywhere in between. God is so good to his children.
