When does the crying stop?

As many of you know. our daughter got married this weekend. We absolutely love our new son and are so happy to have him in our family. They are on a cruise right now and Michael and I can't seem to stop our crying. Not unhappy but talking about when she was little and remembering things. We feel better for a while but then something else starts us up! Are we crazy or is this normal? Love to all, Jennie

mongoose:
I think this may be normal.  I don't have kids...but my mom cried for at least a week when my brother went off to college.  It sounds like you have a lot of good memories and joy.  And that is wonderful!!!  BTW, congrats on the new addition to your family.   :D

Hi, Jennie.  Our son got married this July and moved to Florida. No we didn't cry.  Actually, we were very happy.  He has lived with us since college and we were kinda getting worried there. My daughter went to college and I was definetly weepy for that and out of sorts for a long time.  Like what is my purpose now??? :-\

Then she went to Europe and taught English in Switzerland. Then she got married.  No tears.  But did miss the daily interaction.  Well, when our "baby" joined the Marines, I was like....bye!!

With our 3 coming & going we have YET to have an empty nest!!!! Our baby is back home after 8 years in the Marines!

Yes, dear Jennie you are very normal.  It is a big change! But it does get ya when you start reminiscing....life is WAY tooooooooo  fast!!!

love,
gena

jennie:
This is our only child and we ar so happy for her. We were looking at photo albums last night and just remembering our baby. If there was only some way we could truly realize how quickly the time goes and appreciate even  more our time. I have to be honest here and say it was hard when she moved back home after college. We had sort of gotten used to doing our own things! Oh well... Jennie
