@Phil@freeatlantis.comWhile he was in college, my son came home for summers and holidays and the occasional weekend. Still it was melancholic, watching him drive off to return to school. Now this morning I helped him load his truck and watched him drive off. He was leaving to go the 313 miles to his new home. What an awful thought.
@Phil you can still get there in a day at least.

Yes, it could certainly be worse.
When I moved out of my parents house, I moved 12,000 miles away.
@Phil Empty nest. 
@Java not yet. Daughter is still here and enough pets to open a zoo
