I can deal with all my peeps moving out of the nest as long as they are in the area. But today I received a call at work, the dreaded call, the one an Empty Nester doesn't want to get; it was my daughter. She called to tell me her husband Wesley just accepted a job in Tennessee. TENNESSEE!!! I tried to sound encouraging and glad for them. My son in-law lost his job a couple of months and with the economy being what it is, he was forced to apply everywhere.
I know in my heart this will be an awesome opportunity for Wesley. But, I am so deeply saddened that I will miss out on so much of my grand children's lives. I know there is the web cam, and e-mail...but they cannot take the place of their little hugs and kisses.
Not only is my nest empty, but I can't help but feel the nest is leaving too! I have no one to talk to, my husband says life goes on, get over it, they have their own lives to live, then went upstairs to watch the game like this was no big deal. Sometimes I just wanna boot him out of the nest!!!
Lord...give me strength for the upcoming days! This is NOT going to be easy.
