[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we're a close-knit family and are churchgoers, it's sometimes simply not possible for college students and older adult kids to make it home for a holiday.      [/quote]
[b]There are pros to this.  Young adult children can strike out, find their own church, and then celebrate a major religious holiday in a new spiritual "home."  In an age of helicopter parenting and college students who are in touch multiple times per week with their parents, this is healthy.[/quote][/b]

OP here and I totally agree.  BTW, I'm guessing that 1 out of 4 will go to church in his new city on Easter.

Also, while I'm definitely proud of our kids, I apologize if my earlier comment was perceived as bragging.  As others have noted, I was trying to respond to posters who expressed surprise or dismay about college and adult kids not coming home for Easter.  BTW, we did send them Peeps -- and I resisted eating any of them while packing the boxes.  That I will brag about! :)[/quote]
