[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 65616, member: 3211"] You are wise, Marg. It makes me sad just reading this thread. I remember going off to college. I think I came home the 2nd weekend of the semester because I was homesick - and I went to school very near home - it was just the "being home" part of things. I settled in to school - but still came home frequently, although once I became involved in a sorority, the visits lessened in frequency. Marg is right - once you move out, you never really "come home" again. Things change and shift - and that is the way it's supposed to go, but it makes me sad to look ahead and think of that happening with either of our munchkins. I often remind myself that they are only little for such a short time - and overlook some of their behaviors/quirks because one day, I will be the one fluffing my empty nest and wonder where all the time went. Hopefully, once college gets started, your easy child will come home and you will have an enjoyable visit. And remember, "the older they get, the smarter we become". She will probably begin to turn to you for advice and input on bigger issues because you've always been so close. It's because you made her so strong and confident that she can now stand on her own. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
