Today my son left for his new job and home in New Hamshire. I have started the empty nest part of my life and I am not sure how much I like it. He was always there. We did so much together while he was growing up. My husband was in the Navy so a lot of the "dad" things that needed to be done with my son were done by me. Before the other children came along, my son and I did everything, picnics in the back yard, a band out of my kitchen pots, pans and utensils, trips to the grandparents, arts and crafts, movies, tents in the living room. In cub scouts, his very first camping trip needed a parent to go. My husband was away, so I loaded up the family, a one year old, a 3 year old and a 6 year old and off we went to spend the weekend in a tent.
I am very proud of my son, I always have been. That is not to say we have not had our moments, but for the most part he is a very fine young man. He is a computer science major, with a minor in network forensics and history. He is starting, as he puts it, a dream job. I wish him the best and I hope I can survive.
On the bright side, I only have to go through this 2 more times!
