Floridamom,

I have all those exact feelings, and my daughter’s only a junior. LOL I still have another year before she heads somewhere. When my son was looking, I tried not to influence him in terms of showing displeasure with some schools because of how far away they were. I didn’t want to make this all about “me,” and my not wanting that empty nest feeling coming any sooner than I had to … but I have to admit, when he chose UCF, I was doing the happy dance inside since it meant he’d still be in the same town, whether he lived at home or not. We don’t see him a great deal (as he lives on campus, and we encourage him to treat UCF as though he were away at college), but the knowledge I might bump into him at different things around town, or email him and say, “so, wanna go for breakfast,” knowing no college kid turns down free food, and getting that familiar call from him about every other week … “so what’s for dinner; I need to bring my laundry over and do it,” makes me practically giddy. <g></g>
