My sons left today :o(

Well the day I have dreaded is here.....Landon and my youngest son Kamryn (26) moved out today....Landon starts his new job in CA on Monday.....It is a very sad day for me....This will be the 1st time ever Steve and I have lived alone....The good part is Anberlin will be staying with me for the next 2 weeks....Landon will pick her up after 2 weeks and then the real pain will begin.....

I know I should be happy about this day but I'm not...I'm very sad right now...I'm glad I at least have Annie for the next 2 weeks...It makes it more of a gradual transition.....

I guess I'll be buying a new friend this weekend to help with this empty nest....I'm thinking maybe a cute little female... and wait until you see what I'm doing with her tank! lol It's ALL girly!

Here is a short video of my Granddaughter saying her Mother goose rhyme....She knows exactly what she is saying even if we don't...How could I ever be lonely with her around lol

I can't imagine how hard this is for you. I haven't experienced my kids going yet, and I dread the day.
(I cried for a week before my daughter went away to college)

A favorite line from a song says....."Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" (Semisonic)



Edit: You posted the video while I was typing. She's adorable. Time to get some web cams, you can visit everyday!

OMG......As the day progresses the reality it setting in...I will never hear their cars come up...I won't hear Landons work truck coming in the morning for breakfast and to see Annie....I am just heartbroken right now.

Lots of hugs from all of us here. My friend's hubby is in the military and is going to Afghanistan on a special mission. I am feeling her pain...They are going to be separated for at least a year while he comes & goes. She has 13 and 6 yr old girls too. It's so sad to see people go, especially when you see them everyday.

Wow, she is a little cutie!

I think the term Bittersweet comes to mind. Hopefully the separation will only be temporary and you'll be together again soon.

I think Lucy has it right. Webcams are in order until you can get out here to Cali! I'm moving for college and I mentioned one to my mom... Needless to say, we both had a webcam the next day.

They work great.

Can't wait to see the new girly and her place!

My dear friend,

Please know that we are here for you and will continue to be here for you. It is not a good substitute for your sons or your granddaughter I know but we will be here to halp you through this time and please know that many of us know exactly what you are going through at this time.

If there is anything we can do to help you feel better well we will be so happy to try to do it. We are here for you.

I am so glad that you will have Anberlin with you for a bit yet. And I second the notion about a webcam. That will be nice for you both.

Shayna,

That's soooo sweet you're that close to your mom! You will treasure the closeness for the rest of your life!

Karen, what a sweet, sweet video. It seems Annie is on a new great adventure, although she will miss you so much. You'll get to see her though. You promise, right?

Hugs and kisses,
Pam

Yea, a webcam is a great idea. You can see her & talk to her all the time and show her how Barney is doing.

One step further than my original suggestion....a betta cam! Annie could see barnie anytime she wants!

I hope you're feeling a bit better today.
