Things I will Miss...
As I was making my bed, I could hear my boys talking, just chatting away and listening to music on their computer. I thought, there will come a day when there will be silence as I make my bed and pick up around the house. It warms my heart just hearing them talking and laughing, choosing random, strange songs to listen to. I will miss these small things, but I guess they aren't really so small. I will miss the extra laundry, the extra frozen foods I buy, I will miss reminding them to brush their teeth and to pick up their rooms. One day all of this will be no more, and hopefully God will fill the silence with new and wonderful things. It is hard to write about these things, but it is reality for all of us with children. I hope that I will continue to cherish this short time I am with these beautiful boys and not take it for granted!! God is good to me!

My boys are 21 and 19 now, and yes, I do miss all of the stuff you mentioned. The older one is on his own and will be back in college after a year off. The younger one goes to college only 28 miles away and can come home on weekends, thank God! Now I do lots of yard work and reading and crafts, and blog on the internet!
