NOTHING is wrong with you. We will never be empty nesters..children ages 30, 28, 15 and 15.... I will be 66 when the twins graduate from high school... One grandchild, but in Alaska and we rarely get to see him because of the distance(so sad). Our older children have good, busy lives and I miss not seeing them every day. With no employment we are not able to travel and visit...but will someday!! We raise our children to make them independent adults and when they leave, a piece of my heart breaks each time that I have to say goodbye.
