Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 4373083, member: 93"] It was pretty emotional for us with our oldest. She was the first one, she was going five-plus hours away (i.e., [I][B]not [/B][/I]coming home often), and our youngest was also very emotional about it. I still remember her (the youngest) slipping a handwritten note to the oldest right before we walked away. It was very sweet, and now an indelible memory. One of those life moments where it is the unmistakable end of one chapter and the beginning of another. All good, but can also be pretty moving if you allow yourself to soak it in. Everyone deals with it differently, though. My wife and middle daughter didn't really want to digest it that day, but dealt with it at different times before and after that. [/QUOTE]
