Reading this thread through teary eyes, it is good to know that I am not the only mom feeling this way. I dropped my oldest son off at college yesterday, and am still crying. He is very excited and happy



I flew home on Wednesday and this morning (Friday) I started crying while I was packing a box with a few things my daughter forgot or decided she needed and a few little treats. She is doing great. She’s brave and bold and adventurous. She’s friendly. She’s smart and a hard worker. She’ll be fine!

I am the melancholy one here. I miss her! She’s so far away. I’ll be fine… eventually…

Maybe when she is home for Christmas?

Her school has no fall break and only Friday off for Thanksgiving - she feels it will be too hard to fly home after classes Wednesday, and the risk of problems with one of the flights is high given November weather… I have to agree with her logic, so I guess she won’t be home for Thanksgiving…
