Yep - The nest is empty! Not in a manner of all my financial eggs fell out of the "nest egg"...there weren't any of "those" eggs in there to begin with. Nope - this is the "all the eggs have hatched and the baby chicks have flown the coop" situation!
I had just returned from Ft Bragg moments before the big news was delivered. Although I had suspected a momentous announcement of sorts would be forthcoming, I must admit I didn't expect it THIS SOON. My baby girl, my youngest child, my only daughter moved out of my home and into her boyfriend's home April 1st. The emotional state of it all...on both sides of the female fence...was fraught with highs and lows of extreme happiness and melancholy. As she packed her life into boxes and prepared to move into a life that is "unknown", she cried, I cried, and we both wondered what tomorrow would look like.
After she left, I stood in her nearly empty bedroom. I took a deep breath and drank in the moment of being alone...alone with my thoughts, my plans, my life. I think the "empty nest" gig is going to work out better than I thought it would. I look forward to see what tomorrow will bring in the next chapter of my life.
