Thanks for the guest post by Neville Mcintyre

My last child is about to leave the nest. I am not sure if I should be happy or sad. There are so many mixed emotions right now. I am sad to have an empty nest. I worry about not being needed or coming home to my son’s smiling face. However, on the flip side I am so excited for him. He has found a wonderful apartment. It seems to be in the middle of everything. It also seems to have a lot of young people living in the complex, so I am hopeful he will meet a sweet girl. He moves in this weekend and between the two of us, the apartment will be ready for him by then. My son signed up for most of his utilities on his own. I helped with the electricity because I like to use texaselectricityproviders. My son was able to do everything else on his own. I was surprised, but very happy to see how independent he has become. He has grown up before my eyes and it seems like yesterday when I brought him home from the hospital. He is becoming a wonderful adult and I think the only feeling I should have is happiness for everything he is about to accomplish.
