Mom, you need to stay busy. Make her a recipe book of all of her favorite meals. You could also add your own personal notes too about her childhood or the first time you gave her a pickle.!! lol lol lol
She will cherish it forever!!!

I had a wall bed with shelves and drawers on each side installed in my guest room. Only takes up 18" when not in use. The rest of the room is my sewing room and I can use the drawers to store projects when we don't have guests.

Now, I should also set up a night that they can come over for dinner too. She makes mac n chz and he can make grilled chz sandwiches....LOL Can't live on that alone.

I am now sitting in my younger daughters bedroom which I converted into "my" room!
I love the empty nest. Both girls are out of the house and on their own and independent (which I encouraged so much) and now its time for hubby and me to rebond. He retired and we are enjoying our "golden" years.
One girl is married and lives a few miles away and the oldest one moved 1,000 miles away....if they are happy, then I am happy!
It sounds that your daughter has her direction set in life so be proud of her. Our children are going to do things we don't approve of but, they have to make "their" mistakes as we did ours.
Post a pic of her bedroooom when you convert it.

I can sympathize with you. When my two oldest moved out, I was upset, but got over it. When the third one told me, she said I hope you are not going to cry momma. I said no, you will do what you want to in the end anyway, and I have shed my last tear over some kid leaving home. All five are doing well, and some had to come home once or twice, but just hope she will be happy and be ready to help her if she is not. Remember we are always the mother and they are always the child...no matter how old they are. Just love them unconditionally.
