As I have been missing Alyssa today, as I have been helping Cara prepare to leave while reminding her how close she'll be for the coming home, as I think about the fact that Alex is entering his last year of middle school, as I have done all this I've never felt the empty nest so close I could see it. I feel like the kids are walking away from home, from me... toward their adult lives.....and they are supposed to but it certainly doesn't mean I have to like it. Not one bit!
