Christmas 2023...the kids are grown, our baby is in his first year of college. I am in transition from Florida to Texas...kind of homeless...as I do not have a home of my own here yet, I am with my brother and his family, my parents live here part time also. I was able to get two of my far and away kids here to spend C
Looking forward to bringing them back for the holidays.
But some of them are being brats about it.
Others can't come.
Adulting in America sucks.
The Holidays is about family...we gotta fit in where we can get in.
Separation of the heart is sad.
Living in different states is sad.
Make the memories.
So that you can have them.
We never know what tomorrow will bring.
Make today count.
I've been back for two weeks now. Empty nesting, alone, with no one to cook for, no one to eat with, no one to clean up after, no one to wait up for. It's a strange feeling. I've always known today would be here. I've even waited for today to come. And now it's here. I can't believe it. Where has the time gone? These days, I tell everyone, to enjoy their children. I've always tried to encourage my children to be the best they can be, in whatever they chose to do. I've loved every minute of enjoying my children, from birthdays, to holidays, to volunteering at school, and attending their school activities. Trying to be the best mother I could be, learning all along the way, for my children, to my children. Parenting was a hard job. Parenting is a hard job. It wasn't always perfect, but I always tried to be the best mother I could be. Oh how I miss it, I miss parenting at home. But now, we have to enjoy empty nesting. Let the children grow into adults.
This past weekend I left him…
I left my baby at university.
I had to come back to Florida empty handed, alone.
This is new and different feeling. I’ve had three other children go off to university, but this is the last one, the baby, and now when I come ‘home’ I come ‘home’ to an empty house.
For the past few years, I’ve been knowing that this day was gonna come, I just didn’t expect it to come so fast.
Now that it’s here, it’s the beginning of a chapter.
2023, As the last kid rushes off into the world and I am left with no one but myself, my thoughts, and all the time in the world to be alone. What comes next, I ask myself. I can I do with all the time that I have.
