Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
This is a beautifully written poem. It has a great flow and rhyme. Yes it's so sad when they grow up and leave us. It's nice too but we miss them so much. Very lovely poem.

Joanne, you sweetheart! Thank you once again for this lovely gift of your sweet review, lovely words and awesome six stars. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.
Earlier I found some more butterflies for you if you would like some more. I love to send them to you, but want to make sure you would like more first.
And thank you once again for your always precious six star reviews, my sweet friend. Lotsa Love, Debi

Hi Debi your very welcome. never did see any of your butterflies I would absolutely love to. Thank you my friend.❤️

Really, I know I sent it to your email you gave to me. Could you give it to me one more time because maybe I put it in there wrong? I wondered why I never heard back from you and now I know why. Sorry about that.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
This is a heartfelt and excellent poem. I never knew how hard it must be on parents once they see their children leave the nest.
My niece's oldest went off to college only a half hour away, and it hit her hard. She suddenly realized that her son was for the first time on his own.

Comment from Wendy G
Beautiful one, Debi, a lovely reflection of a life well-lived. I can relate, as will many. It's quite an adjustment to an empty nest, but we are blessed for having known love. It does continue, but in different ways. I like the development of your theme and the consequent emotions through each of the ages and stages of life.

Thank you very much, Wendy. You are always so sweet. As a mother and grandma, it isn't so bad when you consider yourself so blessed. And that I have been. So I just treasure those little visits and......OMGosh Wendy, while I was responding to you, I just got a phone call saying that my granddaughter, Kenzie was in a bad accident. My daughter said they are on the way to the hospital and don't know anything for sure. I will let you know when I find out more. Thanks. Debi
-
So sorry to hear this. Will be praying, and waiting for further news.

Wendy, hi, she is going to be fine. Her car is totaled but she is lucky with a concussion, pretty banged up and will be sore for a while. Thank God for seatbelts. The guy who hit her is in worse shape though. We are praying for him right now too. But thank you for caring, Wendy.
Now I can get back to my thank you's. I was so nervous, I couldn't do anything until I heard, and sorry for just dropping that on you in the middle of my review response, but I wasn't sure what to do with myself at that moment. Phew!!
(Big smile and hugs) time to breathe again. LOL.

I can understand your concern, and being on edge until you heard more! Good news for your family, but I pray the other drive will also be okay. Thanks for letting me know.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I'm one of few people who were happy to have my house back when the kids went off to college. It made their trips home more special.
I agree with you about keeping them young - I enjoyed those years so much and they did fly by!
Thanks for sharing your family with us in this fun merry go rhyme:-)

Hey dear sis, sorry this is so late, but am sure appreciative for your kind comments. I love your honesty, dear one. But yes, there were times that I wouldn't have minded an empty nest when they were still teens. LOL.
Thanks again, dear friend. Love, Debi
Comment from Ginda Simpson
Enjoyed this poem, Debi, and what a neat surprise to learn that we both have a daughter named Bridget and we both have twin grandchildren. My twin grandchildren just turned twenty-one! How did that happen??? I have also enjoyed fun times with children and grandchildren, but I also enjoy my empty nest - it allows me to write.

Sorry Ginda, as I know this is terribly late! But I try not to ever forget my friends, so better late then never, right?
I love that you have a Bridget too! However I do not have twins. Would you believe that our little Keats, who was born two months premature was born on Bridget's Clara's birthday. Keaton belongs to my oldest Daughter, Michelle..
Comment from GWHARGIS
I could definitely identify with this poem. My kids are still home. One displaced due to divorce, one just moved and my two youngest can afford a place in our tourist area to rent. I will let them live here until they can find a place. But my days of being their focal point have long since disappeared. Being a mom is awesome as well as being a grandma. Two entirely different perspectives. Gretchen

Beautifully written as always and I love the picture you picked. Empty nest syndrome is now actually a recognised grieving process. How lovely that you have all your beautiful grandchildren to share your life with you xx

Great write. My nest did not stay empty for very long. Hard times has caused my granddaughter to move in with my wife and I, so now we are experiencing the growth and development of three great grandchildren. Whoopie!

Comment from jmdg1954
Hmph...
We were empty nesters until about five years ago when our oldest had to move back home after some difficulties he encountered in Florida.
He's a bachelor, enjoying his three nieces and two nephews.
We wish we could see our grandkids in Florida more often, but we make do with FaceTime and texting now that the oldest has a phone, some of the time.
I enjoyed your merry-go-round immensely! Well written with internal rhymes and clean cadence.
Enjoy...
John

Hi there John. Here I am running behind again, but never forget about how much I appreciate the awesome reviews of my friends. Thank you for the kind words. And that has to be the hardest empty nests when they live so far away. Take care lil bro. And thanks again. Love, Debi

It must be hard on parents when their children leave home. It certainly does seem that the childhood years pass within a blink of an eye, which is what makes them so special. An excellent, well written piece Debbie.
