The Empty Nest

Today was talking to Lucy and she mentioned about the birds flying out of the coop and the nest soon becomes empty. Only two old folks will be left behind and when one hits  the dust, the other will be alone.
That is why with age hits the realization that the only one who will be with us until one of us dies will be our partner. Whatever quarrels and misunderstanding that one has with one another in the past becomes trifle affairs. One becomes more tolerant of each other. One values the companionship of the other person.
It is heart wrenching to see the kids go away one by one...........but one cannot be selfish. One has to cut the string and like let them go wherever their karma takes them. It is like opening the cage and the birds flies away.
