This past weekend, Man in Plays turned 18. It's quite the milestone in several ways. There is the obvious one of him reaching his majority, being half-way through his final year in high school, and working hard at deciding what he wants to do with his life after graduation and which college will help him get there the best way possible.
Then there is also the fact that our youngest is now 18. It's a new stage in life. While we've always been a bit of empty-nesters, because the kids have spent the majority of their time at their mom's, soon we'll be empty-nesters in the complete sense of the word. No more kids' weekends; no more high school plays and events to attend. The ability to plan a trip or activity without working around someone else's schedule (or lack of communication). It will be fun and sad all at the same time.
Life moves so fast, it's a little scary at times.
