**Euty** , my friend, I think I may have a handle on the reason you titled the thread ā€œEmpty.ā€ And that therefore congratulations and such are not in order. I have only two things to say, one from my son, at age 18, and the other an old adage that I have no idea of the source of. ā€œNothing ever ends well. If it was still going well, it wouldnā€™t end.ā€ ā€œGod never closes a door but he doesnā€™t also open a window.ā€ The ending of something youā€™ve invested a lot of yourself in, good or bad, is always a painful time. But you know what lies ahead, and that itā€™s good ā€“ and, knowing you, Iā€™m confident you can say that you made the right choice, painful though it may have been. Take solace in that, my friend. And know that weā€™re there for you, and with you. ---
