In Response To: Leaving The Nest ()

Tom,
I know exactly how you feel. I just had a son, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandaughters move to KY the end of July, and a daughter, son-in-law, and 3 grandkids move to Detroit last weekend. I have a married son, with 2 kids, in the Army at Ft. Benning; a married son (having difficulties) with 3 kids in TX; and a pregnant married daughter in CA. Yes, we still have 4 at home, but we want them all. My father taught me years ago that; "Fathers are in love with their daughters, which is why no man is good enough, and it stays that way forever. Fathers love their sons, who grow up and become their best friends." I now know what he was talking about. My best friends are all miles away, and it's hard to get together with them. It really hurts sometimes. Hang in there brother. It's just the pain of loving your kids, and that's okay. I'm with you.
