Hi justempty. Is your son moving far away or will he be close enough to come and visit you? I know having him visit will not be the sam as living there, but it is something for you to look forward to. I used to ramble to my coworkers after my son moved out. It's a good thing and you are welcome to ramble here as much as you like. I know it doesn't seem like it, but just as he is making a new life for himself, so will you for yourself. It all takes time and adjustments. Feel free to post and ramble any time you feel the need.
