empty

My youngest son will soon depart for the city where he will be studying at university, his brother has decided to go with him for a change of scenery, the eldest is off to Australia in the new year for work, and DIL, and grandchildren will join him a few short months later. And of course one is gone forever. In 2020 my life will look very different.

So poignant Kali... but that's what happens when you've fulfilled your parenting role well - the fledglings fly the nest.

This is a really heart-breaking image.

beautifully poignant image Kali - pulls at the heartstrings

Oh Kali they're going because you brought them up to be ready to go. Be strong for them use, WhatsApp and Skype and the occasional airline flight. Sending preparatory hugs.

[Julie Duncan]

I have lots of empathy for you, Kali! I miss my kids so much!

Hugs from afar. I think they lied about ‘this’ being the best times of our life. ❤️

[Liana Bull]

I know that feeling. Such a poignant image. Hugs

This is a wonderful image to express “empty nest syndrome”. I went through a hard time myself. You are a strong woman and you will find your way through. Hugs.

This couldn't be more direct and to the point. Life's struggles and events range from shear joy to total depression, and the older we get the more opportunities to experience the full spectrum of emotions present themselves. Hugs from the US!
