A perfect empty nest friendship gift

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
