Both of my twins are officially moved out today. They moved into a
house together.We spent most of the day helping pack and unpack boxes.
Rick pick up a washer and dryer for them while Tiff and I went shopping
for little things that they still needed. When we got back I walked
upstairs as soon as I saw Tiff's empty room I knew I wasn't ready for
this. I walk right back down stairs and asked Rick to take me out for
dinner or coffee I didn't care which . I just had to leave
for
a little while more. We are home now but I am antsy as all get out.
Don't get me wrong I am very proud of them. At 22 they are working and
living on they own,paying they own bills. But it's still hard. One
bright spot was the girls found ways to keep us there a little longer
after things were unpacked. It let me know They would miss us as much as
we will miss them.
I have one moved out, but many more to go. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh my it's a mixed blessing isn't it? When our last son moved out I found my husband in his vacated room just sitting on his bed looking so forlorn. He's been on his own now for 20 years and we still miss him but we surely wouldn't want to live with him. This sadness will pass another milestone on life's road but two at once is a big bump.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to that day when ours leave and dreading it also! Hopefully they aren't too far away!
ReplyDeleteAfter this summer, our twins will be the only ones home. It can be hard when they move out, bittersweet!
ReplyDeleteHugs Michelle! They are always our babies, no matter how old and independent they become!
