Missing Him
Hard to believe, but I haven't seen my older son Matthew now for four months. He's is winding down his second year at Chico State. It's so strange when we get older how we adjust to separation. I love Matthew today as much as the day he was born, but sometimes I kind of forget I have another son. It's sort of like out of sight out of mind. The adjustment at home from two boys to one was extremely difficult for Kristine and I. But after more than a year and a half it seems pretty normal just having Jordan home. Having Matthew home is now the exception not the rule, so when it happens it's more of an "event." We are all so looking forward to having him home for the summer. He's a terrific kid, kind, funny, thoughtful... his mom and I raised him well. Whatever he decides to do in life I'm sure he'll be successful. Miss you Matthew.

I see so many of my friends going through the empty nest syndrome. It's strange how our generation is going through this now. It's as if it was it was not so long ago that you, me and Ahn lived at home as a family. I remember when Ahn first left, I was sooo devestated, and then when you left, I was so high from smoking weed that it didn't phase me...LOL...! Sorry...just saying...!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I can only say "I can only IMAGINE" since I chose not to have any kids, but I imagine it is a proud, yet, bittersweet phase in life.
I've always thought of creating a blog of my own; but I don't know what I'd even write....or...if anyone would even care.
Thanks for sharing! xoxo
