[quote=Anonymous]Totally normal, OP. You've invested so much time, love and energy to get to this point, but it seems to have come too quickly. I felt the same way last year when my DD went away. However, just remind yourself what you said - you want him to spread his wings! It's actually a very fun and exciting time for them.

You'll have your moments when you get sad, but then you'll get busy with your other kids/life/work and the moment will pass. Remind yourself how much fun and excitement you felt when you left for college or left home for the first time. You were both nervous and excited. That's how he is feeling. But also remember how happy and excited you were to come home for the weekend or holidays. That's also how your DS will feel too.

Also, in this day and age with technology it's so easy to stay as connected as you and your DS wish. Gone are the days of the weekly, quick long distance phone call home. A quick text can make you feel the separation a little less and a brief FaceTime is great!

Good luck and trust me - it will feel tough in the beginning, but then you will understand a new reality.
