All week long I checked the weather.

When you have kids that live in different cities, you keep an eye on those towns just as much as you keep an eye on the local weather. IF not more.

So far, so good.

It looked like the hurricane was heading in a different direction than Augusta, where my son goes to school.

By Thursday evening, I was concerned. I told him, I begged him to keep an eye out and to stay inside.

Since my husband and I have become “empty nesters”, it has been a weird season to say the least.

I don’t think there are words or books that can prepare you for this season of life as parents.

As soon as my youngest graduated, before she even put on her cap and gown, we had signed a contract on a new house in a new town.

Bam.

We were up and ready to leave and start fresh where we felt the Lord was gently leading us.
