She's going 500 miles away? Oh my! I'd have a very hard time with that...and on your birthday? And she'll be living in a big city like SF? That just stinks! Can we say the other "s" word? That would be more appropriate here!
My heart goes out to you Denise!

Yes, it's good. Fran and I had mixed emotions when we dropped our daughter off her freshman year. She had been raised with good intentions, morals, ideals, and a realistic outlook. Our "fears" were non-consequencial. She was already a super person when we drove away. For the life of me I can't imagine what was going through my parents eyes when they made a similar drop off re; me. LOL

This is the day you've worked toward for 18 years. Our priority goal as parents should include raising our children to be independent. Be proud that your daughter is able to go off to college which will set her on a higher trajectory for success as an adult. The best gift you can give your children is wings. Ya done good!
