Hey gang! As usual, a ton of time has gone by since I’ve made an entry, and it’s always something new, or unusual that prompts one.
This time, it’s my Sabrina (middle child, age 25) that is moving away. Granted, her and Tabitha (age 27) have lived out on their own for years, but now she’s moving in with her girlfriend (significant other) in CHICAGO! That’s over 6 hours away!
This is my mini me. The one I can always invite to lunch and she’ll say yes. The one who needs me the most, but asks for the least.
I know it’s right that she is moving. I know that she will finally learn to be more dependent, and probably get a real job, instead of the unsteady business of a self employed housekeeper. I know all of these things, but can I be just a little bit selfish and state how much i will miss her?
I still have my baby here at home. Nick will turn 22 in November, but he’s also in the Guard, and could be deployed at any time, so I’ve never pushed him into getting his own apartment since I have two extra bedrooms, and I’m not in a rush for my nest to be fully empty. He pays a token amount toward the rent, and busy his groceries, does his own laundy. He’s a good kid. But I can’t TALK to him the way I can talk to my Sabrina.
Can I say, again, that I am really really going to miss my non-traditional, non-judgmental, big hearted, accepting of all, little lesbian daughter? Every little thing. I’m going to miss every little thing!
