So. . .I have always envisioned that my children would attend boarding school. My son is in 7th and we are doing previews this year . . Today we saw a lovely school (The Gunnery) and I suddenly was hit with feeling I will miss him too much. I am not doubting our decision and this is not going to change the plan. My question is . . will this get better? (p.s. I think part of the problem was that while it is a 1 h 15 minute drive from our house which sounds like a breeze it was pure torture as the road is very windy and slow. I was thinking it would be dreadful in the snow and the idea that he would be “close” started to change. Again–that being said–we are not changing our plan. This is about what is right for him not how I might feel when he goes . .
