I love this song.
I don’t really think it has anything to do with emptying the nest but since both of my kids are heading back to college this week, and since I’m already sad happy sad happy, it makes me weepy every time I hear it — which is often since I have it on repeat.
I know I’m not the only one feeling this way, so I thought I’d share. Just listen to these lyrics:
“Fly away little bird
Find the song in you that no one’s heard
Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight
Through this short life”
Waaaaaahhhhh …
Wishing all your little birds safe flights, soft landings and the confidence to soar.

I’ve had an “empty nest” for 2 years now, and I don’t think it will ever seem right. I am thrilled that my “babies” are doing well and are so independent, but I’ve already informed them that wherever they settle and have families in the future … I’m there!!
It is such a complicated mix of emotions, isn’t it… I sent one off a few days ago. A different experience than the first time, easier in many ways, but always, the adjustment to the quiet once again.
