It has been tough, I can't lie.<br />On a positive note, he has started a band! Look at my last post if you would like to hear him!<br />Best wishes to your son! He is a PRINCE of a fellow, just like the latest George that I heard of from England!! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-8860584279470785752013-09-15T01:14:03.040-07:002013-09-15T01:14:03.040-07:00Chin up John, George will be fine, you must get on...Chin up John, George will be fine, you must get on with your own life.

People would only have to mention their names and I would cry and I was a person who had a busy life of my own and WASN'T going to be affected by the empty nest. That was 20 years ago now.DEBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534287655485880530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-47701255194504606072013-09-11T20:33:22.666-07:002013-09-11T20:33:22.666-07:00I will be going through the same thing next weeken...I will be going through the same thing next weekend, and everyday I feel worse as it gets closer. I'm sure there will be lots of tears for us too as we are very close. His accommodations are very nice though; and to have his own bathroom! My daughter has a roommate and they share a bathroom with MANY other people. We are lucky that she will only be 30 minutes way and will come home many weekends. But I'm sure that will wane in time as she finds new friends, which is a good thing.

You'll drop down to a weekend priority. Ask me how I know all this?

You need to get busy too. The Ramshackle Art Gallery has been sorely neglected. I have not heard about you going to town to paint. We have not even seen a video of open mic night recently. Sadie needs some love and your chickens have been strangely quiet. Your daughter has a new husband so you should get to know him better. Your granddaughter needs her grandfather. And I am quite certain there is laundry to do. Now get up and do some things for John. That is and order.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-44573359513292114612013-09-11T08:23:17.123-07:002013-09-11T08:23:17.123-07:00I know what you're going through, I went throu...I know what you're going through, I went through the same when my lad was installed elsewhere.

A good idea, too, to think about other things and make a few changes in your life. He will be back in time, I am sure.... in fact be careful that you're not moaning in 15 years time about him not leaving home, like so many friends of mine are. They were so upset when their kids went off to uni and then... they got used to it!! <br /><br />Have a good blog break.
