((( hugs ))) You want me to come over and cry with you as I have a lot of tears at the moment too. It will take you a while to get used to the empty nest but luckily you have Bill and all the dogs to keep the house noisy. And Jax will be back so often because who would ever want to miss out on your loving, good food and laughter.

thanks, michelle!

I'm crying now, too.

But.

GO JACKSON, GO!!!

I just realized I wrote almost the exact same comment for the post before this one.

I think I'm doing that transference thing....because I can see that time coming, now, when my boys will be gone, and it's kinda scary to imagine.

I'm going to watch how you do it, so I'll know how when it's my turn. Because you're doing it so, so well.... :-)

Pass the kleenex please, I'm so glad you had that 'pillow moment' to yourselves. I know exactly what you mean about placing the children in their bedrooms at night.
It's two years this week since Christian left home!

*sobs*

Big ugly cry for me this morning as I read your post.

I will be giving my 11 yr old a HUGE hug when I pick her up at school today. It's going so fast. Will you cry with me when she leaves in 7 or 8 years?
