I am officially an “empty nester”today! How do I feel about it? Ask me in three months, after my baby has moved out of our home and settled into his college dorm across the country. For now, I just want to share how grateful I am. Grateful that me and my child have reached this milestone. Every day is a gift, especially when in good health and when we feel safe and well supported. I know by now that life and our experiences are fleeting and that what’s truly important is to make meaningful connections in this lifetime. I want to thank all those who have loved and supported my kid along this wondrous journey so far. You all made it more fun and rewarding every step of the way. So, here is to whatever is outside of the nest and to embracing as much of it as we possibly can for as long as we can from here. Congratulations, Finn & LREI Class of ‘24! We are proud to know you and to claim you as one of ours. #NoFinnNoFun #Chapman28 🧑‍🎓❤️
