"If you find yourself about to open the door to an empty (or emptier nest) or it breaks your heart just a bit to think about this impending season, I share the following to comfort and reassure you too:
1. The way you feel right now won't be the way you feel forever.
2. You've probably missed teaching your kids stuff, and that's okay.
3. Your way of communicating with them will be different but good.
4. Find your friends.
5. Your kids will always need you.
It's my prayer that the Lord shows you tailor-made signs of His goodness here today. And tomorrow, may He show you that sure as the kids will bring their laundry home, good things exist beyond goodbyes."
