<p>Well, then there are the kids who decide to stay at school to work or do research for the summer and during part of the winter break, and go on spring break with their college friends. And it’s hard for some of us to visit. But, we do get to see him a couple of times each year and we talk a lot. And knowing they’re happy and growing in ways we never even considered is wonderful (and almost makes up for them being gone!).</p>
<p>My D made several CDs for her sister and I to listen to on the drive home and the morning drives to HS. It was waaay too tough to listen to them on the way home, they were so representative of D. It took weeks to get to the point where we could listen to them on the way to school, but eventually they became a smiley happy part of our drives.</p>
