Growing up

So my baby is 18 and will be graduating in a couple weeks. It makes me very sad and I realize that I am chomping at the bit to be a grandma. It seems the natural next step for me - sadly though, that particular choice isn't about me. I used to laugh at the whole concept of the "empty nest" syndrome but I realize it's going to be a reality for me soon. Hannah is leaving and going to school in the fall - plus she just wants out of the house and anxious to grow up and be on her own. Zachary has his own whole life and career going on and Kylie is working two jobs and rarely has time for family. It's all very depressing. I should really take up a hobby - knitting, quilting, or something. Then at least I will have something to offer a grandbaby - if and when he/she comes. :(
