LOL, it is hard but it does get better.

I'm never going to flame you for missing your kids, or finding it hard to let go. I am missing mine SOOOO badly today! Most days are better than today.

One of mine lives 1900+ miles away, and one is about 600 mi. away. Thank heavens for email and IM-ing.

My younger one has been going to school in the summer too (they both did) and he will get to come home for a bit in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.

Aw, honey...no flames here from me. I know what you're going through. I have 4 adult children. Although they still live with us I am so amazed at the fine men & women that they have become. Yes, there is some sadness there - but it is a good type of sadness ( hope I'm making sense here)...but it is also a very exciting time. We have our children for only awhile - we are their first teachers, and by God's grace....they're going to be okay - and so are you

Hugs.

My oldest is 23. It is still hard to know she is on her own with the two grandbabies. The letting go is nearly impossible for me as the kids are the majority of my world. DH is much better at it and keeps reminding me this is the way things are supposed to work. So much for my dream of a ton of land with a little house for each of the kids.....

OMG my children are only 13 and 10... I guess I have quite a few years before then, but today I cannot imagine having that conversation with my kids without welling up with tears.

Mahalo for giving us the time and place to share this - something only parents/caregivers could only feel - wrenching feeling of separation and then enjoying benefits of knowing them as adults.

I'm agonizing that this is the first year that we'll not see our DD for an entire year - we can handle it, but it is truly a challenge.
