congrats on your youngest graduating
recall that time - for us it was the start of the start of empty nest
but we were fortunate to have the youngest around for the summers - unlike his older brother who was basically gone / never returned after he started fresh year of college
there are some benefits of course - with no sports / travel ball / activities etc more time for whatever - including bikes
It will only be totally empty for a little while. In Nov., we are expecting our first grandchild. I'm looking forward to weekend afternoon naps snuggling the little one.
