Change is good?

Packing, Packing, Packing.....when will it ever end. We spend a week or two unpacking the kids when they arrive home and then another two weeks getting them ready to send off again. After they leave it is clean up the apartment, cry, miss them, cry some more, stay busy with the others, then pack another child for another school, take her, cry some more, miss them all some more, come home and get busy with a new type of day to day routine. Life will be very different around here with 3 in college, 1 grown and gone, and only 6 home. Keep telling myself that change is good...change is good.....change is change. When they finally grow up enough to be of real help and take care of themselves and even take care of me they sprout wings and fly away...do we have something backwards in life? Need to go and help pack..........
