I just thought I share this with you morethanamom and all of you empty nesters out there, I found this in a book:

"How did you let your child go? It was the most
impossible thing in the world. But...you don't
really have a choice. They don't belong to you,
your children, they never did. They are entrusted
to you for a short time. You do your best, you protect them wisely. If they change their names, you asked them what they want to be called. If they want to go sailing, you help them find the wind." [Smile] [Wink] [Cool]
