Reply to "College Corner"

Just sent my "baby" away to college. I tried to smile as he drove off into the sunset, but my parting words were..."I just dropped you off at kindergarten yesterday!" We had previously gone to his apartment together and he agreed to let me "do" his bathroom and bed, and I know that color coordinating his shower curtain, hooks, towels and mats was much more important to me than him. For eighteen years, he was my first and last thought in every situation, every day and now he's 540 miles away. A friend tried to put it in perspective for me by saying, if 16 years ago someone would have told you that your son would graduate with honors, play for a State championship and go to a great university with a baseball scholarship, you would have been ecstatic. Then I talk to him and I hear the excitement in his voice...But I STILL MISS HIM!
