Dots,
I don't think you have anything to worry about. Kids just go off to college then come home every weekend and holiday with a bunch of friends and dirty clothes. Then they marry and bring husbands, wifes and kids for a big meal.

I think I'm just now going through empty nest. My oldest is in 500 miles away in Texas and my youngest just moved about 35 miles away. I usually speak to at least one of them or their kids every day on the phone, but they're not in the house every weekend so I'm missing them.

But I guess I'll survive. Actually I think they go through an out of the nest crisis too.

It's not all good and and not all bad. Kind of like life. You'll be fine. And so will they.
