Emptynest No More
Well I no longer have my emptynest, the baby girl has returned home. I’m not upset or disappointed, I’m thankful that I instilled in my child that if you need to regroup and try again, home is the best place to do it. Not with your friends or strangers, but at home. Yes, I heard the comments that I’m too overprotective. Maybe I’m just being a responsible parent. Maybe I can remember all the times my parents were there for me. Maybe it’s because God has always and mean always had my back. In or out of sin, God has always protected me and helped me regroup.
Also, when I read the headlines and listen some of the interns at work discuss their college debt, I’m convinced the best thing for my child is to attend community college, complete her Associates degree, then transfer to a 4-year university to complete her Bachelor’s degree. This will allow her to graduate from college with a small amount of debt or none.
So even though my emptynest has been invaded, it’s okay because my baby will be able to regroup and fly out of the nest an even stronger and better young woman.
