19岁的女儿爱丽丝给我打电话说,她要在束埔寨多待一个月。她原本明天回家的。坦诚地说,我体会到所有父母放手儿女后的感受:她能独立了,离家很远都有安全感,很不错。她是3个孩子中最后一个离开我去上大学的人。她有两个哥哥,我是逐步跨进空巢期的。 Alice, a 19-year-old daughter, called me and said she would stay at Bumpo for another month. She had to go home tomorrow. Honestly, I realized the feeling of all parents letting go of their children: She was independent and safe from being far away from home. She was the last of the three children to leave for me to go to college. She has two older brothers and I gradually stepped into the empty nest period.
