Although my children left home years ago, I still can't get over these 'empty nest' feelings. They're both getting married soon and I'm so happy for them - but, I just can't seem to shake these moments of nostalgia. So, in an effort to move on, I started to blog about the earlier days. In essense, I've decided to rejoice in the fact that they've grown and are starting a history of their own.
I often wonder it's a normal feeling for a 60 year old woman to still be clinging to the yester-years.
My children then and now.
I never really had the empty nest thing. I enjoyed my kids when they were home but like now that they are grown and gone. They are both doing well and are happy and that makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteI like the collage of then and now. My husband has a daughter but she has always lived with her mom so we have never had the empty nest. I can imagine you would miss not having the children around.
