Empty nest

Wow, I never thought this day would come, its almost a week, my baby girl moved out of the house, this has been planned since last year, and I knew it was coming, but didn't wanted to come.  When you have kids you want what's best for them, you try to raise them right, you give them what they need, but the thought of them making it on their own you don't take the time to stress it. 
I know this change will be for the good, for her and for me and my husband, she's all grown up, very responsible when it comes to studies and work, in a way I think she is ready, as soon as we started making plans to move to the other house, she started making plans to move too.  2 to 3 weeks before I move she's already gone, the timing was right, the money was there, even though she was not prepared with household items, she was ready.
Im missing her already, that room is empty, even with all the boxes and all the stuff I'm putting away for my move too, seeing her room empty kicks me in the chest. This is a new begining for my and Jose, this will bring a lot of joy to our lives, Im hoping... but still, there is silence in my home, I don't have to worry about coming and leaving the door open for her cause she's coming later. If I lock the gates, no worries about the dogs cause she wont be coming, all that it less "worries" for me in a way, even with the feeling of missing her, since she's not far away, makes me happy for her begining, this is a new chapter in her life and in mine too.
Today I went to help her with some dressers and mirror and dinning room table, and looked at her place and makes me feel good, is a cute place, small, but for her and her roomate "her cousin" Danny that will protect her like a big brother makes me feel good.  I just hope that with all that I talk to her about good and bad, she can make right decisions, that she chooses her friends wisely, and that she will feel confortable still to tell me anything, and mami will be here for her always, always, and that she will always have a room in my house if she decides to come back home...
But this is her time and my time too to be an empty nester, I thank God for giving me such an amazing kids Eddie and Seivy   Los amo un monton...
