being a bit teary-eyed tonight realizing how grown my children are . i understand that all too well in no time at all , they will be out of our house completely . i guess i 'll have to get a dog , i 'll be one of those ladies that has a dog stroller and takes the dog to grocery shop ! my oldest only has 3 years to go and i already have dogs ! i guess i 'll need more
The realization that their children are growing up and will soon leave home triggered the sentimental feeling.
