I recently read someone's Instagram post about the season of life when their kids were launching to college. She'd decided that she did not want to call this season the traditional name of "the empty nest" because she did not really like the phrase (because it feels so-- empty!). Instead, she said, "We're basecamp, sending climbers out for their adventures. And they are welcome to return for refueling, rest, comfort, and warmth anytime. We keep the home fires burning." I've become quite fond of this wording and could not agree more with how fitting it is for this season.
