My older daughter came home from college in early May and stayed with us long enough to get ready for a month of studying in Japan. She's been home with us since early July but, alas, in only 2 weeks we'll be taking her back to college again. There's a great book of essays -- The Empty Nest (edited by Karen Stabiner) that describes what we're feeling.
