Empty Nest Syndrome

My parents are about to experience this for the first time in 34 years. They are, as I am writing, loading up their babies to go off to college. Farrah for the 3rd time and Gabe is leaving for the 1st time. There will be weeping people...weeping. They are not only going off to college, but they are going off 8 hours away. Andrea will have to represent. She and her three kids are only a few miles away from Mom and Dad... so if they need to hug and love on somebody (other than each other) they can go and grab one of them. Mason may not allow them to grab him. I'm not sure how at 12 1/2 he would feel about that. Cooper on the other hand will welcome a hug and kiss them right on the lips. He is 5 and doesn't worry about being cool...He just is. On the up side I get to see them all tonight because I am halfway between where they live and college. Yippeee! Can't wait to see little brother use his wings, because my parents gave him great roots. Well this is another phase of their lives and I pray that it will be a happy one. I know they will miss their babies. I also know that they are excited about the wonderful things these two will accomplish. So good luck bro and sis. Mom and Dad hold on to each other and the Lord. They will be back before you know it and may bring more with them:)
