How hard is saying goodbye, really?

Mine aren’t there yet, but as I spoke to my mom this morning and exchanged lots of tests this evening it reminded me about how we speak a lot more now than we ever did when I was in high school. Also, I can remember a time after college for both of my younger siblings that my parents were venting to me that they moved back in and although it was nice, it had been a long time and when were they going to be independent? So my point is, I’m sure I’ll also be crying when mine goes off to college but it doesn’t mean we won’t all be close again in different ways as adults.
