The Empty Nesters

They looked around at what was now an empty nest. The silence was deafening. Where there was once noise and chaos, was now replaced with pin drop silence.

Their little hatchlings had taken off, had flown from the nest. They spread their wings and took off, setting flight in a world where they would build nests of their own. So that made them officially empty nesters. 

They looked around the empty nest, sorely missing their hatchings. But they knew this day would could come. They tried their best to prepare for it, but nothing could prepare them till the moment came.

They equipped their hatchlings with the tools they would need to survive, to thrive, to succeed, to leave their mark. Now their hatchlings had taken flight to create a life of their owns.

They had dreams, they had plans, but everything was put on hold when the first one came. Before they knew it, they had another, and then one more.

They set aside their hopes and dreams, and made the hopes and dreams of their hatchlings, their own, and went about enabling them to reach them.

But now that they were gone, to make a life all their own, what more was there left for them to do?

They wondered if they should sulk and miss their hatchlings, or should they just sit back and reap the rewards of the seeds they had sown? Or maybe, just maybe, this was chance for them, an opportunity, to get back to the hopes and dreams, get back the life, they had put on hold. Was this life giving them a second chance?

They were firm Believers that you are never too old to learn? They believed in second chances. And this was their second chance.

So they packed their  bags and took off to pursue the dreams of their own, two empty nester, living in an empty nest no more, off to see the world and conquer the dreams of their own.
