Lonely Thoughts

Hello:

I am writing because today I am feeling very lonely and missing my daughter lots. Heather just moved to Round Rock, Texas to start a new life with lots of possibilities and I am excited for her and praying for the very best for her. I am also missing her and my life right now seems very empty. I guess that is empty nest.

I should not be feeling like this. God is so good. I have two new roommates, so I can keep living in the same house. I have a good job. I have friends and a great church. But I am lonely.

I think I have been lonely for a very long time. Having Heather move away has made my lonliness very apparent, even to me. This is a new chapter in my life as well as in Heather's life and I know that God has all of this in HIS plan for each of our lives. But I am still lonely.

More later.
