What happens when your purpose drives away?  Our role as a parent has instantly changed.....and I am not really sure how to deal with this!

Seems like people are in one camp or the other.  When your last child leaves the nest, parents are either so happy to have the kids out of the house…..or they are crying every day.  I am in the latter bucket!  The change is so huge and monumental, it is kicking my butt!  

The day my last child left for college broke me in ways I never expected.  Tissued required!  What camp are you in?   
Comment here or on my socials...find your favorite, I am on all of them:

My daughter gave me this little "Olive dude" before she left….how sweet is that!  And now it sits in the Iowa State Cyclone Lego.
