Love & Hugs Thursday

I need lots of hugs and love today as Tom is leaving home to go off to college. We have been planning this since September and the time has finally arrived, an empty nest is on the horizon.

  4. Oh Helen, I remember that feeling only too well...had to do it five times! Wish I could offer some wise words, but all I can say is...he'll come back! And you'll always be there when he does, and those times will be all the sweeter :).
    Have a hug from me, in the meantime 8)

  5. Oh, Helen, my heart goes out to you, sweetie! When our kids left home for college, it was so difficult for Hubby and me. 10 years into the empty nest, I still miss them so much sometimes that my chest literally hurts. On the flip side, we can skinny dip in the hot tub (or wherever) whenever we want and have popcorn for supper if we want. :o) You can cry on my shoulder if you want! blessings, k
