well so far mine are at home for the most part. Oldest is 21 and does not plan on moving out till she gets married in about 2 years they say. DD #2 though is gone for the summer working at a camp 12 hours away. We took her up there and oh it was SO hard leaving her. Then she called last week in tears. As much as part of me wanted to say I"m on my way I knew I had to tell her buck up and survive it. I sometimes go in her room though and just look. I miss her! She and I are very close and its rough her being gone. She was my starbucks buddy the few times I can afford it! But they are not here to stay with me forever. I have the kind of mother that would still tell me what to cook for supper every night if allowed and I am determined to raise my kids to do their own thing and not interfere......well not too much :-)
