 Av> My youngest son is moving away to another city and leaves today. This is
 Av> his first time living outside he spent most of his life growing up in
 Av> and will be at the other end of the country i.e. you need to fly or
 Av> spend several days driving to get from us to him. I will miss him when
 Av> he leaves. At 22 and with a girlfriend and a job to go to, he's off on
 Av> his next adventure.

I have 2 sons both young still.  I don't know how I will feel. On on had they cost a ton.  On the other I don't think I would want them to go so I would be really mix feeling on it.  I know it will happen eventually but for how there 13 and 11.  I will just enjoy the last few year I have. At least in your case hes not alone. You know there is someone that will call if need be and watch out for each other.

 Av> My wife and I will visit my parents in a few weeks. I suspect it will be
 Av> the last time I will see Mum alive. My rational brain gets this, this
 Av> train has been rolling for a few years now. My emotional brain gets it
 Av> too... but at times it gets it less... ah emotional brain... how you can
 Av> pop up out of nowhere at times and remind me I'm human :)

I'm sorry to hear this.  Seems like time stops for you and the world it self speeds up.  For me when these things happen my brain refuses to accept it for what can be days to a week.  Then its all real all at once and it awful.  I pray for you an your mom.  Be there for your dad.  It's the quiet times that get to you.  Our family has had a lot of death in it so I am very aware of the issues that arise. Extra video calls.
