hotflashgal,
Soon, before you know it, it'll be: No news is good news! It will mean she is busy and adjusted to life "on her own!" THAT is another letting go exercise. It is hard to realize they don't need us for each decision! I have just been through that but my second son was not so emotional about leaving home. However, if he is in India studying, he wants to talk all the time and gets a bit frightened. They are like toddlers; They go as far away from us as they can and then when it gets tough, they come running back to us!

Be Well,
Dancer

And then it gets hard when they don't need you becasue your'e so busy, but you have the need to catch up with them. It sure is a ride!

Hotlash, as more people arrive and she makes friends, you'll hear from her less, which is a good thing. Do you think she'll click with most of the kids at the school? Do you think this school is a good match for her?

Took another technology step and got a webcam today. It was great to talk face to face or should I say screen to screen. It was great fun and she looked awesome! No tears today!! Things are moving forward just like they should.

Thanks ladies!!

Hi Ladies...here is an update.

I saw my girl on Saturday for the real move in day. She is doing so well. She loves her roommate, has gotten over her homesickness, for the most part, she misses my cooking) has made friends, and even has a nice boy interested in her. Her school is in a very quaint, small town and he took her for ice cream on Sat. at an old fashioned ice cream parlor down town.

Since she never dated in high school, and by the end of her senior year was very disappointed by that, I think that Adam, has given her quite a boost. I actually met him, and he had such a great smile on his face when he saw her. He shook my hand and her father's hand. Too cute.

So, what a difference 11 days can make!

This is so exciting. What a roller coaster ride of emotions. Friendships, whether with a boy or girl, can make all the difference in the world. It's all about finding soemone to share life with. Sounds like she's doing grand! What a relief, huh?
