Surprisingly Insightful

I am amazed how fast time flies when your not paying attention.  My oldest son moved out a year ago on the 21st of this month.  I can’t believe it’s been a year already and that he has lasted a year on his own.  He moved quite far away, so we don’t get the opportunity to see him very often.  We do communicate through phone calls and e-mails so I know he is doing OK.  But it’s still hard.  I think his moving out and so far away has been the hardest on the two younger kids that are still at home.  When he first moved out they were happy for him and excited that he was going on an adventure.  But now since it’s been so long they really miss him and want him to come home.  My youngest son has even said that he would happily give Josh his old room back if he came home.  But…he likes where he is at so I’m sure he will be there for many more years to come.  It’s just too bad we can’t seem him as much as we would like to.
