But as Marion said, we really shouldn't be upset, we have done our job when they decide to spread their wings and be indipendent.
Sending you a hug

Know how you feel Anne. Our oldest - a daughter went to Uni in Dundee at 19 and though she was home for holidays she didn't come home for long, her first
job was in Oxford (50miles away), she came home one weekend a month. A year later she managed to get a job in Scotland where she met her husband and now lives
up there. My 2 boys leaving hit me much harder, the youngest went first, only moving to Northampton (16 miles), he did come back after a couple of years when
he was ill, but he is away again now - it wasn't too bad the second time. Andrew has been at Uni (Northampton) for nearly three years now - in Northampton
and he comes home every weekend but I do miss him when he is away - he still brings his washing home for me and I get his food for him!! I am dreading when he
qualifies later this year and will be leaving home for good.

We see our two youngest daughters more now that they have moved out than when they lived here:lol Now they bring their little ones with them so that is a
bonus. At least they now do their own washing and ironing!!

I don't have any children but do understand what it must feel like................. be proud that you have done your bit and they feel confident enough and
able enough to step out on their own. To me, that means you got it right! And they WILL be back! Enjoy some "me" time now, you've earnt it.

I have 3 sons, my eldest is 37 married to a lovely lady and they have given me 2 beautiful Grand-Daughters. He left home at the age of 17 to join Royal Navy.
Son number 2 is 27 and he returned home earlier this year, when he split from his partner. Son number 3 is 25 and has never left, he is my official carer. I
also adopted a daughter, she was a troubled teenager, but is now a beautiful woman of 26 and living away, but not too far. I was upset when they went, but
soon realized that they are not leaving, just moving on in the world. Just as you must be I am so proud of all my children and when they visit and stay for a
week-end or week then its fantastic. You will never loose your son, believe me, especially whist he is single. Enjoy the peace and the craft room, and
don't feel guilty about it.
Love, Hilary |

I am still making sandwiches for my 30 year old son (who is married with children and lives a couple of miles away) because he 'hasn't got time to make
his own'
. He works with my youngest son (still at home) so Adam
takes them with him when he goes to work. I know, I'm a soft touch! But it is nice to know he still needs me for something....even if it is just making
his sarnies!

It has been two weeks since my son moved to bexley,Dartford, Kent. The first week was as if he was on hols, the second week has been very tuff, i miss him so
much, we are very very close and i do feel as if a piece of me is adrift. He is 21 engaged to be married to a wonderful young lady, he moved out and started a
new job all at the same time, so have been giving him as much support over the phone as possible this week.
