The closest school he is considering is more than 3 hours away so I am 1 year away from the empty nest.
A friend of mine – same age as me – just had his first child a few months ago. The one thing I can tell you is that I could never start again.
The hard part of parenting is almost over. The next step is letting go and watching to see what type of adults they develop into. I have to admit, I am looking forward to that.

The house became quiet and I felt lost for a while. I had to refocus my life. Change happens. Now I have 4 grandchildren and it is the absolute best!

I also have a daughter – my only child – that will be graduating high school this Sunday. I truly can empathize. While my husband and I are thrilled to be getting back to our life B.C. (before child), we are frought with concern and worry for our girl – who just happens to have turned into a pretty cool woman overnight. Best of luck to you.
