Today my son, Tim, goes back to college. It is not just all the projects he does better than any other house member, it is his company that I will miss. I like having my children at home. I know they want their own lives now that they are grown, but I miss them when they are gone. For years, when they were growing up, I could not imagine missing them. I yearned for quiet times then. Now I have enough quiet.
This is the basic nature of us as humans, yearning for what we don't have yet or had in the past. I know this yet can not escape it. The clouds have rolled in and enveloped me with melancholy. Now it is my job to push through this grey blanket and grab all of the good interactions left in this day.
