I remember one positive thing about the quarantine in 2020 was that it was a perfect time for my husband and to spend with our adult kids. The kids were annoyed of course that they were trapped in the house and my daughter even said we will be able to see the tire tracks from her Jeep when they lifted the quarantine. My daughter was a senior in high school, my son a senior in college. We knew we would never get time like this again so we embraced it. We cooked good food, watched movies and played games.
Four years later my daughter is about to graduate from college and move 2.5 hours away. My son is applying for the final portion of his educational journey and has another year left at home.
So we will be empty nesters. While I am excited for them and very proud, I know that times are a changing. How will I adjust?
