I’m teary eyed…and my empty nest will not happen for about 6 years now! I will keep all you ladies in my prayers…that your lives and hearts will be filled with the Holy Spirit. And I love the new set, AJ! I’m from the French part of Louisiana and I just love anything “fleur”. Thanks!!

AJ, sooo glad to see you back. I understand your feeling very well concerning the empty nest sysdrome. I had just one son and I had been divorced since he was in kindergarten. Mark and I were soo close all those years that he was growing up. It was even traumatic the night he graduated from high school because I new it wouldn’t be long before he left for college. We made it through the summer and he left by himself going off to college. Tears were raining down my face – just as they are right now. It was the loniest feeling in the world. I cried and cried but I think he was a little homesick also because he called home every night and came home every weekend. I knew I had to let go but I just didn’t know how. But as the first year went on we got used to it and each year he came home less often than the year before and we had finally made peace with it. He is now 34 years old, a fine upstanding young man, whom I am very proud of. He has a wife and 2 children to whom he is a wonderful father. We just don’t have a choice, as much as we love them we have to let go.

I’m so sorry Steve is having to travel a lot but hope that will change before long. At least you have plenty of work to do and that should help the time past faster. If you ever need someone to talk to just give me a call. I would love to talk to you. You are my inspiration!

We empty nesters just have to develop new routines to get us through. I somehow found myself going full-time at work when I really wanted to be part-time. But it is really good. And it is nice not to have to worry about every dumb thing they do testing their new wings, just the ones they tell us about!! Kathy

AJ,

It’s all I can do to type through my tears. As you know I am going through many changes myself and searching my own new normal.
Your prayer is perfect for me to pray right now & for the coming days ahead.
Paul and I had grown quite comfortable in our “empty nest” – but when we got together with our daughters who both live in other states – it always took us a couple weeks to get back into our routine. Our daughters are struggling with finding their way without their dad in their own “empty nest” that was “our” family as they grew up. They are now creating their own Nests, but still found comfort in coming HOME and for us to be part of their Homes.
Without Paul as my anchor in my world now, I find this house, this nest, so uncomfortable and yet in many ways “peaceful” too. Strange how feelings and grief work. But I also know that the Lord will see me through and that Paul himself will be beside me always in my heart.
Your new art and new ventures all sound wonderful and I am happy for you that your talents and good thoughts and prayers are being shared with us all in so many corners of the world. I will pray too for you that you will find new joys, and new experiences, that bring you happiness. Enjoy that new grandbaby too…they are always sure to give you a giggle and smile when you most need it.

This is a lovely set, AJ! I love all your work, but I can hardly wait to see your new fabric, as I am a seamstress!

Sorry to hear you are struggling, know that we are all out here in “cyberland” if you need someone to talk to!

AJ, I too love your new sets. I also enjoy reading your blog and have missed it. Oh, the changes that come our way–all we can do is trust God, follow His leading as He promised to see us through all our trials and hard times–never promised that we wouldn’t have them! Praise His Holy Name!!!

Ann you are so right. When the ex left I truly did not think I could get through it but He gave me the strength to do what I needed to and come out on the other side.
