My middle child got married in 2010, although she and her husband come visiting weekends still I can't seem to get over the thought of not having her close 24/7. Yeah, three years and still I feel that way. I still have my eldest and youngest girls with me but I know they will have their time to leave too. Though I sure hope not yet.<br /><br />Sending you hugs and prayers to help you through each day ... one day at a time, as we have learned and in the company of a loving God who cares. <br /><br />God bless you both.<br /><br /><br />Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682310322367124297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-15047462094663138622013-01-07T19:43:52.818-06:002013-01-07T19:43:52.818-06:00I've thought of you so often, Diana, and it...I've thought of you so often, Diana, and it's great to have you back in "bloggersville".<br />Sounds like a lot of changes but I remember the days when my husband & I found ourselves alone and, although he was sick most of the time, it was wonderful getting re-acquainted.

Hope the family matters smooth out and this new year is an extra good one for you. I know I spent most of the summer sadly missing my 2 older(now married) granddaughters. One lives is Washington State now, the other in New Mexico. Neither are permanent moves though, so things will get better for the both of us I'm sure.Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-48023816047020940472013-01-06T00:54:24.734-06:002013-01-06T00:54:24.734-06:00Aren't kids fun?

I have gone through some scary times with my kids and thankfully we all emerged mostly intact. When you're in the midst of turmoil, it seems it will never end. Hoping Jake recovers fully and you both eventually can enjoy this new chapter of your lives. It seems like just yesterday that Katie was in Junior High. I know how much you both love her. Good jLuck to all of you.

I heard a saying...Hey, a lot of us have been there. I heard a saying, "a parent is only as happy as their saddest child," and I think that can be true. Empty nest is hard on couples who have enjoyed their kids, as you obviously have and I did. I went through a terrible time when my kids moved out. I was so lonely! And like you, the good thing that happened was I met my hub again and found that I still liked him. :)<br />I read a great book that helped me alot, and only if you want the name you can email me. Funny that the time of life when our kids are leaving often coincides with other things that are going on in ourselves which don't seem to help much.<br />Hey, it does get better. In fact you'll come to like it pretty well even though you will be really glad to see them when they come for a visit.<br />Keep your chin up kid.<br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-36040945873223884152013-01-05T12:09:55.663-06:002013-01-05T12:09:55.663-06:00Warm and big hugs to you and Jake as you continue ...Warm and big hugs to you and Jake as you continue this journey, Di.<br />Being just the two of you isn't bad...as a matter of fact, as time goes on, you'll find that you love it more and more.

If she does, welcome her, but assume it is temporary for her sake and your own. In fact, I'd say encourage her to be temporary. She is young, but it is nearly impossible to adjust back into the old roles, and it can produce even more problems for all of you. It's OK for the birdie to leave the nest. :)Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-8726793406233504212013-01-05T11:24:54.748-06:002013-01-05T11:24:54.748-06:00I'm glad you posted, even if you're not re...I'm glad you posted, even if you're not ready to be a full time blogger again.

There is probably more to the story as well. But there is much to be said for the empty nest, as you seem to be discovering.
