One of the most important things for me is when my little family of 4 sits down to have supper together. We accomplish this feat about 4-5 times a week. I love when the 4 of us are sitting around the table. We almost never have one of those "TV moments" where we share our hearts or solve our problems; you know what I'm talking about. Think Ward and June Cleaver. But it does make this Momma Hen happy to have all the chicks in the nest at the same time.
Recently as I glanced around our table it hit me that very soon we will have an empty chair. Logan will go off to SIU-Carbondale in August. And there will be an empty spot every night at our table. And even though he hates it when I do things like this, I told him exactly how I felt about that:
"Logan, when you go to college in August, there will only be 3 of us at this table. One of our seats will always be empty and that is going to break my heart."
