Sadness at the end of winter break

My son packed up his car and drove back to school yesterday. He’s in his third year, so I guess I’ve gotten used to him coming and going. It is somewhat of a relief to me not to have to deal with his sleep/work/time with girlfriend schedule! But what does bother me sometimes is that next year’s housing is up in the air, there may be a lottery for on-campus housing and he doesn’t have a very good lottery number, so he may have to look for an apartment. That means he could be living there beginning this summer, so potentially never living at home again! I know that is something that will and should happen eventually, but as he is my first born, it’s difficult. And with my second son heading off to college somewhere this fall, it could be a double whammy.
