Our DD only came home the summer after freshman year. After that she stayed in her college town working.
After graduation, she was here for a few months and then went into the Peace Corps which was VERY far away.
But after PC she lived here for almost three years before enrolling in professional school also far away…and no summers off.
But now…she lives about an hour away.
They learn to come and go…and isn’t that what we want them to do?
