I bet you are going to get more of the same from all kids in some form or the other. It's the opposite of the empty nest, instead of you having to let them go, they need to let you go now.

So true!

DD hit the nail on the head. The kids don't like the thought of you being so far away. We are toying with the idea of spending more time in Florida and just going to the Cape for 2-3 short trips in the summer. DS got upset when I mentioned it even though he lives a few hours away from the Cape house in Maine now (but he can drive there and vice versa).

Yes, it will be an adjustment for everyone!
