Well today (actually yesterday but I'm still up) is my 53rd birthday! My youngest son is off to college in California, my oldest just got married and this is my first week of empty nesting! It's going pretty good so far. When I said goodbye to my son I waited until the car was out of sight to break down and cry. No way was I going to be a crying mom as he and his dad drove off for the airport. His dad took him since the flight he wanted was a direct flight and the closest airport for that was 110 miles away (one way). His dad and I are divorced so they had some one on one time. And last weekend was my 35th class reunion. It's a good thing I have a pretty good attitude or I think a person could get really depressed with all these changes! And man my classmates looked old!!! lol I'm not even sure why I started this thread! I guess I'm just amazed at how quickly time passes!!! I remember, when my oldest was little, my mom telling me they grow up so quickly.....it's so true!
