When children are at home we wish for some quiet and peace, but once they go we tend to miss them! Excellent write, Dr. and congrats on a merited win. // paul

Yes Dr. Ram, this is something we all have to deal with in our own way, if we have children. Advice, sympothy, never seem to help much. I have tried to transform the leaving into a celebration of passage. After all we aren't really letting go of the young birds, only allowing them to fly.

Enjoyed reading this one today..The empty nest is a terrible adjustment for the parents and for the child(only the child usually is not aware of theirs and the parents)..Reads like a winner to me..Thanks for the visits to my p age..Sara
