You know, after I read your letter, I started wondering if these college breaks are for the parents also... So that we can slowly grow accustomed to our children being far away... Preparing us for the time when they eventually move on to their jobs (which no longer will allow them to come home for these extended vacations). I am definitely not ready for that!</p> Jan, It sounds like you know exactly how I feel.

You aren't kidding about the internet and e-mail! On the other hand.... I sure hope you are planning on visiting him... What an adventure that would be! Chris,

It seems we get a little used to our kids being gone and we settle into a routine, then they come home for the summer, school breaks, and a month at Christmas and we become accustomed to a full house of activity, friends, family meals, conversations, etc...then they are gone again and the house feels so empty and quiet.A huge hole. My son went back early this year for his internship job and even though he is a senior and I should be used to it, I cried when he left. I know it's his last year for extended holiday visits. My daughter has one more week at home. I have a special relationship with both and miss them terribly. A friend once told me the good news is your "recovery time" does eventually get shorter..... (((hugs)))</p> Danna, I know exactly how you feel!

We are done with four kids in college. Ten years of traversing central NY. Many thousands of dollars too. But it was all worth it. Now my son is taking a job in Germany teaching English. Thank God for the internet and e-mail. Danna,
