It's the little things
Peering into his room and recognizing what's missing
It's the little things
Turning to his "place" on the couch and no one is there
It's the little things
Finding myself laughing alone at a funny video
It's the little things
Setting the table for four instead of five
It's the little things
Hearing his brother acknowledge the empty state of their bedroom
It's the little things
Our family now fitting in the first two rows of seats in the van
It's the little things
No longer hearing his voice cut the silence; in laughter or arguments
People ask me how I feel now that my child is out of the house. It's a big adjustment that grows from little things.
