Home as landing strip

For those of us parents with college kids, March is the month when our prodigal children return home -- usually with friends -- for spring break. This does not mean we get to see them all that much, though. One of my sons is leaving again today and all I can recall of his visit is a blurred image of comings and goings. Basically we served as his landing strip as he took off for other locales to visit friends.
The pantry, by the way, is empty.

Even though I am no longer in college and now have a child of my own, our visits with family are often way too short--by the time we see relatives and a few friends, it is time to go again. It seems like that landing strip feeling does not apply only to the college kids, but also anyone who lives away from family. And it is magnified when there are grandchildren to enjoy...
