change
I do not enjoy change nor do I take comfort in the phrase,"the only constant is change"
My son of 19years, a recent graduate has decided it is his duty to move out. He is a wonderful young man and I realize his need for independence……….however, I didn’t realize how much I would miss him. Every time he comes by I ask if he is eating well and getting enough sleep. "You know, your room is still here for you if you change your mind", I say.
I know mom, I know.
I worry that he is working too hard to pay for being on his own, instead of enjoying the last few years here rent free. Last night as I hugged him goodbye the tears came in a huge wave. This must be the empty nest feeling that I’ve often heard of but could never relate to. Even with more teenagers still in the nest, it has been disrupted and changed.
change sucks……
((HUGS)) to you.
