<p>S1 graduated college in May. He commissioned into the Navy at the same time. He left last night to return to his Navy base after two weeks holiday leave. He’s got some really tough weeks ahead of him. We have no idea when we will see him again. Seeing him go is not as hard as the not knowing when we’ll see him again.</p>
<p>S2,college soph. has been here for 2 weeks and is getting bored. He is headed back to sch. on Thurs., I think. I’m fine with that because I know I’ll be seeing him again within the next six weeks.</p>
<p>Daughter has been in Rome since July and flew in for 10 days (only) and then flew out on New Years Eve back to school. Bahaaa! It was great seeing her but, her darn boyfriend never left our house (it seemed). Gawd, it was like he had to spend every minute with her. I’m about over him completely.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I bring my freshman son to the airport and am already weepy. My daughter (a junior) has a week left on her break and when she goes I will most likely cry for four days! I miss them so much. And, their spring breaks don’t overlap! I know they are doing well, moving forward in their independent lives, and I am so so grateful for this. But it’s still hard to say good-bye. I really appreciate this thread.</p>
