Im pretty sure every parent feels this way. it must be hard seeing you kids grow up, move out and have a life of their own. My mom for example, two of her kids are in college, one who has just started a family, one starting high school, and one who is always there for help yet but also has his own life. i wonder if she ever feel lonely. although, we all somehow try to be more closer and what not, we are all too closed off. maybe that's why when my mom's out she's social. a company is never a bad thing when you're feeling lonely.we all love each other, it shows through the slightest ways.
