adult children living at home. One rebounded after a divorce and has had medical issues that will probably plague him his whole life. The other is my youngest who has simply had a failure to launch. I don't know if she will ever marry. So I'm guessing they will only move out when both mother and father are gone.

My oldest daughter was 1 when I met her mother, so she was there from the moment we were married, so I've never know what it was like to have a empty nest as one of our children has lived in our home now for 43 years.
