[QUOTE="katya02, post: 211392, member: 2884"] Sending hugs, gg. This empty nest thing is a major transition. Each time I've taken a son to college, I've been glad for them - glad they were starting the next phase of their lives, doing the appropriate thing at the appropriate time. But I've also gone back to the hotel and watched the student welcome party fireworks from the hotel window, and cried until I couldn't cry anymore. Transitions are hard, and tears are appropriate. But the changes will bring good things, too. Visits to new places, pride in your son's accomplishments, joy in watching him take the first steps in his adult life. This is the goal you worked toward - to see him mature and become a man. You have good memories, and now the sweetness of seeing him grown. There are good things to come! [/QUOTE]
