I was going to post somthing like what David said ^^^^^

My 2 children are 25 and 23....I am the one who wants to run away from home.

Naw, seriously though...it WILL be difficult when each of them leave, but I WANT them to leave and be their own person. My late husband and I shared the same goals with raising our children. To raise them to be independent and confident adults. They haven't left home only because after He died, we simply needed each other to get thru the grief. Now, they are finally making true plans on moving out on their own. One is finishing up with schooling and the other is well established in a good/steady job.

I DO HOPE that I don't get hysterical when the last one IS gone and the house is absolutely QUIET!
