Now that son is beginning his junior year, preparing to return to school is fairly routine. Most of his things are pre-sorted into stackable plastic bins and we only need to shop for toiletries and cleaning supplies. I remember when he first left, however, that I was very sad. I had to rearrange our dining table and fill in his spot because it was just so sad for H, D and I to see his place empty. I always felt like I should see him when I passed his room. Sigh. But it got better and was really made easier by hearing how busy and excited he was about new things. I love email! We wrote every day at first, sometimes more than once. E-cards were one entertaining way I stayed in touch with him. I felt more connected by sending them and he enjoyed getting them too, and would often send a little reply note. It might be something others would enjoy, too.
