I don’t know how to respond. They were once my favorite #band. I still like them, even though I’m a different person now. 😣

I once felt like being at their Hell Freezes Over Tour was one of the greatest experiences of my life

I can barely remember any of that, now. 😒

Oldest kid is staying at University this summer between graduation and graduate school to continue working with his research group. I'd thought we'd have him home for a month or two, but no. It's a good opportunity, so I can hardly say hanging with Cancer Mom®, Dad and teen siblings for the summer is the better deal.

Next oldest lives on his own and works most of the time. The two youngest have 3 and 5 years, respectively before flying on to bigger better things. (Hell, I'm facilitating it by encouraging one to literally pursue a pilots license.)

I have interests and a personality beyond being a parent. But, somehow, I'm sitting here having an anxiety attack knowing the time is coming soon when my house won't be chaotic w/ teens or kids running in and out. I love that chaos. I'm bummed the cancer has slowed me down from enjoying these last years of this level of Momness.

Other middle age parents...how do you do it? #emptyNest #LongGoodbye #GrownandFlown #MiddleAge
