I've discovered, as a little birdie in an empty nest, alongside a handsome Mr. who humors me, we can do this empty nesting thing. Well, not really, we're both still learning. But, we know we/I'd have to one way or another. It is inevitable. All parents go through it. At least I'm not alone, even… Continue reading A perfect empty nest friendship gift
