<p>Skygirl…it is hard for some parents to let go. Agreed, it’s time for you to go to college. There are things you can do for your mom while your gone…call, send notes, give her updates…let her know that she is still part of your life and she is an important part. BUT you have a great opportunity to develop and grow. Go for it.</p>
<p>By the way…there are a bunch of us around here who had our kids “late in life”. I’m the same age as your mom!!</p>
