Patricia – How has your relationship with your son or daughter changed?

I have a very hard time remembering my son is going to be a 29-year-old man.  When he goes out at night, I still wait up, like when he was a teenager.  Because, we were empty nesters, and he came back, and it was just a total shock to us.  Before we could always eat dinner when we wanted, or if didn’t want to eat dinner, we could go someplace.  We’re a little more tied down.  The first weekend we went away was like a big giant leap off the cliff.  You just have to jump off the cliff and know that the parachute is going to open.
