The last one has flown the nest……
June 22, 2010
…..but mercifully they keep on coming back!
Last Saturday my daughter was married. Now all three children have their own lives; their joys, disappointments and adventurous futures.
I told my daughter that now she’s someone else’s responsibility. She just scowled and mumbled “I’m the baby you gotta love me!”
I’ll admit to a pang of solitude when the third fledgeling flew the nest but I know that she’ll fly back, as the others have done. I can’t wait!
