[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also have just one child. The saying goodbye was easier than the lead up (since I was so mournful much of the summer!). 
On the day of dropoff, my DD was so excited that I could only be happy for her. Also, I was surprised to feel a certain prude and satisfaction as a parent. A lot of work had gone into getting her to this phase of life. She had options for college and won a good scholarship. A job well done on both of our parts.

The hard part is when they are gone. The house is quiet. Life much less hectic. Early in though, They do really come home a lot and are there for months at a time. That requires some adjustment though on both parts.

So, you are experiencing a real transition. I loved parenting my child, and fear it was the happiest phase of my life. Still, I am so lucky to have a healthy, good kid. There are more happy and proud moments ahead together. We (as parents of adults) just have to build a life that is less kid-centered. I am still working on that.

Congratulations to your son.[/quote]
