Empty nest
Tonight I feel a bit …empty too. Home alone and missing my youngsters terribly. This is the way life is, of course. Children are only borrowed… for a short time…but in reality 20 years or more. And that is a long time…Still, they will always be my children.
I look at this photo, and I see a happy family travelling Tibet with guides and a van. Excited, overwhelmed, happy, intrigued, mezmerised, sad, overjoyed, tired, headached, worried, thankful, grateful…
Of course everything in life is not always happy and easy – but luckily those things are the ones we remember first and most. Unless we think about our younger days in school…Many of us can never forget the occational wrongs from teachers – when you got unfair grades or worse.
I hope I have been fair. At least I tried hard to be.

I am sure you were very fair; your own children will have educated you in the art of fairness. 😉
Wherever in the world your children are they are connected to you; they are part of your heart, like they are part of yours.
Charlie, thank you for your warm words. I just need to hear from them sometimes – even if I know we are connected.
Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down, Leya. It is hard to let go a lot of the time, especially those we love. I am sure your family is thinking about you all the time ❤
You are sweet, Mabel. Comforting and positive – those are good traits!
Sorry you are feeling empty, A-C, hope your spirits lift soonish….. As you say, everything in life is not always happy or easy…..
Soonish. I heard from Emma today, she got the best of grades on her first test. 😀
Fantastic!
Yes, that is life and we all experience it:)
We do.
I guess we all think time is running way to fast when our children has grown out of our houses. Even though we know the will fly some day it is hard when they do. I mean we love them more than life itself… ♡
”…we love them more than life itself…” Yes, we do.
It happens to all! But as you say they are still yours and will always be. I wish them all the luck on their journey
I always think I am glad that I am not young anymore. To be young has not become easier…
I agree, there is so much information to absorb that I don’t know how they can cope with all of it.
Well…sometimes they can’t . I think this is one of the big reasons for so many young people having concentration disorders and mental illnesses.
That’s true. I struggle myself to keep up with plain things. To me it is only for my own pleasure the youth are forced to expand their knowledge.
