The unfounded fear of any single mother is ‘what do I do when my young man/woman flies away from the nest?’ They have to one day. They have to – they need their identities, they need to find themselves, establish their values, their ideologies.

The questions that moms are left with is – what am I do to when he flies away? What do I look forward to? How do I fulfil the void he/she will leave behind? There are no answers to this question – no tailor made solutions. I guess, we figure that out when we come to it eventually,

why worry now?

catch-up with our long lost friend, wake up late, laze around, travel solo, visit museums, art galleries, volunteer – with plenty of options these days – slowing down and enjoying the emptiness in our life and in our heads – is definitely a bliss.
