DH and son packed the car and left for a 4 hour drive to take DS to college around 8:30am. After 15 minutes of "mom tears", I was in his room and tearing it apart. By the time DH came home around midnight the room was MINE!! When son came home on week-ends and holidays he slept in the guest room (too small for a sewing room). Son asked once if I felt "empty nest syndrome" (he's my only child). I hugged him and said of course. I hope he believed me LOL.
