| Here's a third form of pain to prepare for. After this long, arduous process with all the celebrating and enthusiasm, we'll take our kids to move-in weekend - more celebrating and enthusiasm. Then we'll hug and kiss, they'll go into the dorm and dive into a smorgasbord of exciting day-after-day opportunities. We'll climb back into the car, drive home, and discuss what to fix for dinner. We'll be eager for any morsel of information that allows us to share in what's happening on campus; our students will be so busy that we'll have to wait for those periodic morsels. The crescendo keeps building for our kids; it tapers off into a squeak for us. |
