Mine are 5.5 years apart (21 and 15 currently) and I wouldn't trade that age gap for anything. I got one as an only for the crucial early years and one as an only for the crucial teen years. And the younger one loves flying solo to spend Thanksgiving with his sister at college every year. Wins all around.
Oh my goodness this exactly! It's really great for them to have their sisterhood and also their solo stints with us. That is so fun that your 15yo flies to visit big sis!!!
I so so appreciate and can resonate with so many of these reflections. Thank you for sharing, and so happy for you!!
So glad to hear it, and thank you!
