Yeah ... I know.
And My last one is a senior in high school this year so ...
She is my youngest (of two) so it's empty nest time around here.
My first kid is about to be a senior at UO, so I've done this before. This one hit me a lot harder; not because of the kid per se, but just the finality of it.
I really, really liked having my children around.
Well..... I might be on the leading edge this fall simply because her school starts so early and they wanted her there a week early for soccer 2-a-days... but I know my hurtin' heart <g> will be common all across America these next few weeks.
