I love that you and George are doing new things and exploring all kinds of things as a couple. You truyt seem to enjoy being together and that gives me hope for that part of my life.

My son actually has his own family now and lives in another state, but there are still days that I wish he was around for a quick hug. But like you, I feel excited about what life has to bring him.

I stayed home with them and everything was just easy and fun. Oh how I miss those days (and my good eyesight and healthy feet but I digress). My heart does break all over again when they leave. It's such a strange feeling - to be excited and happy that they are successful and doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing yet feeling destroyed a bit too. It is much better now than it was when Nolan first left two years ago. It took months for me to get settled, maybe even the whole first year. It was almost harder having just one son home, I felt like we couldn't or shouldn't go and do anything fun without Nolan. Anyhow, thanks so much for putting into words exactly how I feel!<br />xo,<br />Kellyann<br />p.s. how I wish we lived closer!Kellyann Rohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320531991490519576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-3914387010393002432018-09-08T01:31:49.993-07:002018-09-08T01:31:49.993-07:00I am so with you!
