vinceh - that is just how I felt too, both when she was born and when I dropped her off - my world had just changed, both times.

I too am jealous of my D’s experience but at the same time so thrilled she gets to do it - she worked far harder in HS then I ever did and she deserves this.

She is the oldest to launch so I know we’ll have to do this again and again but the first one leaving makes it all true - that the book does end and the sequel begins whereas before I just kept believing pages just kept being added.

Best of luck to all those still waiting to launch - while I miss her greatly, I’m happy to have launch now behind us, the anticipation and unknown was harder than the adjustment now seems to be but I also agree that right now it still feels like she’s just away, I’m curious to see when our routines really just start being about the 4 of us still at home and I don’t always think in 5s.
