Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Empty Nest

I always cringe when I hear people use the term "empty nest".

Empty is the wrong word.  Our home has never stopped feeling like a home.  Even when you are not physically in the house you never really stopped being a big part of making it the home that it is.  That is what makes it so nice to come home, it will always feel like home to you.  The bonus is that when you come home, you always add a new memory or two to a house that is already full of them. 

The "nest" never feels empty.

You have a very strong  unshakable foundation here.   When you walk in the door it will always feel like home.  And although I miss you both, it never stops feeling like home for me also.
