[quote=Anonymous]I think it's appropriate to "mourn" or reflect on the end of an era in your life. When my first kid left, I was a wreck because it represented the beginning of the end of my child rearing days. The reality of it was so much better than I had imagined - weekly conversations, many trips home, new-found appreciation for our family and now a closer relationship than before. In my mind, I imagined he would never live at home again because that's what my path was, but instead he has been home all summer even at 21. Now is the time to focus on yourself and creating a new rhythm to your life which will take time, but having college age kids, in my experience, has been much richer than I had expected.[/quote]
