And then they learn how to fly | There are so many superlatives about empty nesters and the life changing experience crossing this milestone. In the typical U.S culture is when the last kid packs for college, leaving an empty house, couple parents are back to where they have started way back when . . . though this year had a major twist in the plot when all birds landed back practicing remote learning, from home, while hanging out with their high school friends - total chaos for everyone, parents who wanted their freedom, kids that wanted to be away from home, quite an emotional soup.
When looking at our little nest, well, empty and looking at how the new nests created by your own kids, seems as if we have practiced independence from early age, we protected them while not holding them from experiencing, from taking risks, from challenging themselves, helping them build strong wings to withhold the high winds, to look after themselves from evil of others and keep their heads high landing the best great things they could achieve in life.
You end up talking with super smart birds that have no fear to leave the nest, what ever nest is for them, it is checking time and again if there is a new limit they can cross. Once out of home, comfort zone is a temporary landing spot to refuel and pack on to the next hop, experiencing life to its fullest.
It is very fulfilling to see them grow, to go about arguments and discussions that help shape new generation of humans that have the muscle power to see laser sharp, to realize what is right, to filter out the wrongs and to inspire others with powerful wings.
At the same time these are the same things that make you longing for next time you see or talk to them again.
You encourage them to be self thinkers, providing them with the means to create, helping them finding the right way for them vs. bringing them to the next spot, and then they learn how to fly...
