Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi Rita...I am so glad that you posted and shared what you are going through. It IS so hard to be an empty nester. I understand that pain of missing your children. It is harder on holidays when so many families do get together and your kids are so far away. I am wanting to move to Southern CA now that both my girls live there so I understand about that pull. Hang in there dear Rita and know we are here for you pulling for you and praying for you. *hugs* In a message dated 7/7/2004 7:54:46 AM Pacific Daylight Time, jrzyrita@... writes: > Hi All: > > I've been in the background a bit lately, but still keeping up on everyone's > posts.
