Empty Nest
Soon after the wedding, my youngest sibling went away to college. I had often wondered what my parents would do with an empty house and no one to drive to play practice. . .
Now they only call me from their new cell phones, and usually they are on the way to somewhere fun--or already there when I call back. Last week it was off to the mall, this week they were getting Chinese food down in the valley. It makes me happy. They have time to spend with each other, and have fun about it. Maybe just be adults again, instead of parental units. Yay for them, even if it means I get squeezed into the 15 minutes before they get to the mall. . .
