Your kids have big decisions and choices ahead of them. The equation shows how much you miss them. Then again, think about the amount of your time that has increased in the equation.
I have been thinking recently how we should be mixing media as we write. Great job here! I love the sense of equation, that balances out to your reality.
Ah, a equation poem! Our three left the nest together, the same day! In the first week, afternoon I sat on the top step to the bedroom level and had myself a good long cry, then I got up and embraced my new season. In time, one by one they each came back. Two have built their nests so that our backyards run together. For a while the third one joined them... but makes his home now in Ecuador. [sigh]
An empty nest can be lonely, but can be filled with so many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteParenting well done+Empty nest= Still full life
