@singoutlouise I’m so glad to hear that your D is doing so well at her school. (Think it was of U. of Mich, if I remember correctly.) I understand your situation having her so far away that a weekend visit is impossible and flights so expensive that they need to be limited. (That was my D’s situation last year when she was a 10 hr drive away.) As you say, knowing that’s she’s really busy and happy there is a comfort. And texting really helps too!
