D comes home infrequently from 10 hours away. Mostly breaks and usually not for the whole time. I am lucky that her Thanksgiving and Spring breaks are always different from her friends, so I get her to myself sometimes! She has made the comment that the kids who stayed within an hour of home seem to have not changed much and seem to still be clinging much more to high school memories and such. They come home for many football games, band competitions, etc. Her big comment is “they need to move on”. Of course, this is just her viewpoint.
