Empty Spaces

I went to set the table and there were two empty spaces where eager faces used to sit...  I went to vacuum the basement and there were two empty rooms where music used to flow and clothes covered the floor waiting to be worn or washed...  I went to park the car and noticed I could park anywhere... We went to have family prayer and prayed for two that used to stand in the circle... I went to bed at night waiting to hear the late night entries, only to hear silence.  Two have gone to spread their wings and have left empty spaces in my heart but I am happy for them.  Happy they have chosen to go live life on their own to experience it through their own eyes and hopefully take what they have learned and be successful in their own ways.  I am proud of my daughters who now live on their own, happy for them, but in a way sad for me and the empty spaces they leave behind.
