It IS sad, definitely a time of transition but also a time of some pretty exciting options! And I am not too old or infirm yet to enjoy most of them so that's a bonus! A little of this, a little of that, maybe I will get back to this thing I did once, maybe I will completely reinvent myself! I think it can be a really cool time and a really nice bonding experience between us and our easy child's, with both of us having the freedom to explore new things and meet new people we might otherwise never consider.
