Dotsie,

I only have one child, Jonathan. He came back and forth for several years. Now he's married with two children.

I'm not seeing them as much as I would like to. But, they live in Elkridge, which is not too far away. (Some of my acquaintences children and grandchildren live in California, etc.)

I haven't known you for long, so I don't know how long it took for you to initiate the boomer sites and organizations.

But, I for one, am so happy that you did!

It is difficult to make changes, for me. Also, I don't adjust to loss easily. I'm trying. Still seeking answers.

I love the way Jane described her adjustment to change. See post above this one, or Jane's!

Also, I don't think many mom's go through empty nest without some "down" or "loss" feelings. Just remember: your babies are your babies no matter how old they get.

Love,
Emily
