I have quite a while before I get to that point. My youngest is only a freshman in HS and I have one who's a freshman in college. I know I'm going to be lonely when they do all finally move out. My daughter graduates wtih her Bio/chem degree this May and is planning to save for a few months and move out permanently in Aug. While my oldest should be out in the next month or so depending on the job interviews, he just graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I hope they live close enough to visit, but with all of them home for the first time in MONTHS it takes some getting used to.
All our of my sons were home for the holiday this year. One coming off deployment and one heading out...two waiting. Interesting conversations between the old CSM, the CW3, the 2d LT, the soon to be CSM and one swabbie... nobody else had a clue what we were talking about!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
