i would be thinking of the present time not the future because you have no control over that , when my kids moved away i thought life atarted all over for me !!! didnt have to clean up after other people, didnt have to do the extra laundry or dishes all of this and more left me with time to do what i wanted !! if i got lonely for them i can go to their house and make a mess and leave them to clean up after me like i did for them so many years ,i can call anyone of the grandkids , they love to come over , i can spoil them rotten and send them back to their house at any time oh knowing my kids are raised and on there own is a blessing for me i love it !!! by the way the last one that moved out thought i would be lonely and bought me a rotweiler puppy so i would not get lonely and this dog is so spoiled rotten sometimes it is like raising another child !!
