[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure where this belongs, and it is more of a vent / confession that anything.  Though I do welcome any advice.

I have one child, a DD.  She is a junior in college.  On trying days when she was young I remember wishing the time away, thinking how great it will be when she was older.  She's always been a pretty good kid, though high energy.  My DH traveled a lot, and our families never helped out.  I did hire babysitters when I really needed a break.

Well now I find myself craving her childhood - from newborn all the way to HS.  I miss having her at home and I miss seeing her every day.  I feel like there is a large hole in my heart.  Some days I am ok; other days I cannot get out of the nostalgia mode.  I miss so many things / times about her growing up, even the challenging periods.

I don't know if I'd feel differently if I had more than one child or if she had been difficult.  I just really miss her.

Has anyone who has been there & done that have any wisdom?  She is doing well in college and seems pretty happy. [/quote]
