You've captured all the emotions so eloquently. This continues throughout your life, the "liminal space" you've described, is so satisfying to relish in it, and it actually only gets better...

So well written, and so true. First spring break where the kids wanted to hang w other kids vs us… we did get some great days or moments of us 5, while acknowledging it will be less and less each yr.

So nice to see them starting their own lives, and also the moments of just your family become so precious!

#liminalspace ♥︎ entering the second round (I think) and so many emotions attached. Love that there is a name for it, that’s comforting in itself.♥︎

Absolutely! Always helps to know what you're going through is part of being human!
