My older daughter spent the whole summer before freshman year telling me how happy she was to be leaving our small town and going to college. - she couldn’t wait to get away. After we unloaded the car and dragged all her stuff up to her dorm room, I steeled myself for a cool and quick adieu. Imagine my surprise when she was the one who burst into tears! I was completely unprepared for her reaction, but it made me realize that wherever she goes and whatever she does, she’ll still appreciate her dear old mum.
