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.

I found your other blog! I clicked on your name when you left a comment on my blog. So... let me know which one you are going to keep :)
I miss you too! But call some friends and go out. Start saving money for a plane ticket... you would love all the little things around here! :)
Big hugs!
Hi Suzanne, I can totally relate to your words. This empty nest thing is "for the birds," and they can keep it. Lindsay has been gone for five years and I still get lonesome for her. She just got engaged so I guess God was gracious to give me the extra time on this learning curve. Whit is getting ready to move to Oregon and poor Andrew is left here to deal with me. It really is a fun time though to see them get a grip on life and do what makes them grow and be happy. Heather is going to learn so much and I'm so glad that you have such good friends around you. Get out there and visit her soon. You will love the Texas "culture." Praying for you as you both adjust. Love, Bonnie
