He's very mellow all the time, so it's hard to tell with him how he's feeling.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-11594947631365158012008-08-22T10:46:00.000-04:002008-08-22T10:46:00.000-04:00Is he calling home to check in?Is he calling home to check in?SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-6326525118853832002008-08-21T08:19:00.000-04:002008-08-21T08:19:00.000-04:00stefanie, I know he's probably a little homesick, ...stefanie, I know he's probably a little homesick, too. Boys just don't always show their emotions like girls. But, I know I got the biggest bear hug when we were leaving. I usually get the sideways half hug from him. hehe<BR/><BR/>ravenous reader, I am looking forward to spending more time with my husband. I'd like to think we could start traveling on long weekend trips. <BR/><BR/>margaret, it never gets any easier to let your kids go, I guess. I now understand what my parents went through. I moved seven hours away when I got married at just 19 years old.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-20145360961952338202008-08-21T07:42:00.000-04:002008-08-21T07:42:00.000-04:00I know just how you feel and my son went to univer...I know just how you feel and my son went to university ages ago. It all came back to me last week as he and his family have just moved to Scotland (they only lived 1 hour away before)and as I live in the south of England this seems so far away! It's as though he's left home all over again.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-81265601535348274712008-08-20T21:55:00.000-04:002008-08-20T21:55:00.000-04:00Hugs to you, Lisa...I know just what this feels li...Hugs to you, Lisa...I know just what this feels like and it's not a bit "silly."

I remember how hard it was for my mom when I went off to college. Your son will miss you too, he probably will just neglect to tell you that.

In fact, up until about 2 years ago, I would never have believed he would go to school four hours from home. He's really matured a lot in the last couple years. Today is the actual first day of classes. I hope he calls tonight to let me know how it goes.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-15338398416824086072008-08-20T11:17:00.000-04:002008-08-20T11:17:00.000-04:00It doesn't sound silly at all to me!

It's hard to tell with him because he's not a big talker.
