It's time to Kick Off the Fall Semester! Did you just drop off your college student? Are they feeling a little homesick?
Whether this is your first time dropping off your student or you 5th, I don't think it gets any easier. But I have learned to shed a few tears and put the smile back on my face. It's not easy, but doable.
Little things like sending notes or reaching out to them goes a long way. It's an act of kindness and love that you both need. Be proud of the child you raised, know that they're moving on in their life, not to leave you, but to experience new adventures, make great friendships and ultimately find their joy and purpose in life.
So sit back and start to enjoy the next phase of their life. Remember they STILL love, need and miss you. Life just looks a little bit different now.
