(((hotflash))
Last year was my first year to have my dd live away at a University.(we did community college here in town for the first year and a half) Boy, I cried my eyes out. Even grocery shopping was sad without her. I got better after we started emailing and phoning each other. And I got to get up there a few times for visits.
It's just bittersweet to see them off on their own, and you just miss them so darn much----things are just different without them.
(((hugs)) to you, I know how you're feeling.

That really is a long day she is putting in. Is she taking other classes as well? What year is she in at school?-
I hope you all adapt to the changes soon.
p.s. --I'll be joining you in about a week---will be helping my dd move back up to college next Friday.
