When all your children leave the nest eveything seems so quiet with just one left in the home.Our house was always filled with laughter from morning until night. The girls were always getting ready, trying to pick out clothes, little brother was always pestering seeing how much he could get done. Kickball,softball, any kind of ball, bbq in the yard with three wheeler running over everyone by big brother trying to get a laugh, kids always saying "Mom or Dad"!!!Our table was always full , and kids running scared trying to get out of chores. Everyone having the flu, all except poor dad,who took care of all of us, running here and there. Always too much laundry and the floors were never kept clean.When your kids are at home the sounds are always there. We seem to take for granit those giggles in the night, or even those big fights where all the girls are on little brother finally giving him whats due. When your house is empty oh how you miss those sounds. If you could just have kept them for just a few more rounds. I think we would all take lots more time to listen, to take in all the sounds, that forever will be missed.......
