"Here is the deepest secret nobody knows(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)." E.E. Cummings
This is so beautiful,it captures exactly how I'm feeling in my empty nest.

Yes,P,he's off on an adventure.We moved him and his girlfriend to their new apt.,about 3 hrs away.They will start at the university in august.He is so happy and loves it there.I have been doing well so far.I did have a big crying fit on the way back,as it hit me like a lightening bolt,I could feel it in my heart.My son had texted me,"I love you.Please dont miss me too much.I will keep in touch."He has been texting me and keeping me informed.I am keeping busy,and am glad I have my hubby to lean on.I hope you have been doing well.

(R. Stewart /J. Cregan / K. Savigar)
May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rod+stewart/forever+young_20117403.html ]
May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabondAnd may you never love in vain
And in my heart you'll always remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever youngAnd when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tellBut whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young
