Oldest went to a pre-orientation program to meet other females in her major. Mom dropped her off early, went to visit friends in the area and Dad flew in for convocation and the hugs goodbye. A favorite teacher had sent home a ‘university branded’ tissue back, because she knew how my daughter and I are close, especially in the way we approach living life’s challenges. I didn’t need the tissues, because she had found her new home and was beaming!

Middle child will be attending same school two years later. I would like to meet his roommate, but I certainly have enough of a picture of the campus to follow any conversation (if he actually calls or texts more than one word at a time) or give advice during any freshman transition glitch. We have not yet been able to attend a parents’ weekend. Meeting their friends during their college years is more important to me than attending the scheduled events. I very much enjoy the house filling up with high school friends during breaks, watching the growth and development while they are finding their passions.
