Seems like there is always someone missing



I am not sure I ever spent a lot of time wondering what empty nest would feel like.  I guess I was just too busy with the kids.  Well now I have time, not only to think about it, I can experience it.  I am not sure I like it very much.  There are many days I wish for a do over.  Not because it was so horrible and I want to do it again better.  I wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed those days.  They were difficult sometimes, but our house was full, noisy and very chaotic.  Three of the girls are out changing the world in their own way.  They are enjoying their new adventure.  The three of us left at home are feeling the empty space left by the ones that are soaring.  It will soon be just two as the baby will fly away too.  That is how it is supposed to be.  I will make it through this transition, just as all my sisters before me.  I will be proud of my girls.  Most of all I will forever be thankful for the one who has chosen to stick with me on this journey.  I guess my nest won't be completely empty
