Our freshman son is in Minnesota, and we’re in Tennessee (I think that’s about 1000 miles, but I’m not sure I want to know exactly). H and I flew up with S to take him to school, and after we got home we both sat in the living room and cried. He’s a great kid, and we miss him tons. But–he’s thriving. He loves his school, his friends, his classes, his teachers. As others have said, you take your cue from your kid. If he or she wants to attend school far away, then you go with it. The reward is watching them thrive–albeit from a distance.;)
