I agree with Around_The_Horn but our timeline was much different. We did it within a couple of hours. We communicated with them the same way they had been communicating with us. For those who called regularly, he called, and for those who texted, he texted. We felt like they had done us a solid by offering and I'm a huge fan of not burning bridges since he ultimately wants to coach and you never know when you commit if it is solid. I just wanted to add another step to the growing into an adult phase for him. Neither of mine did not receive any bad/very negative remarks. A couple were short but all said good wishes.
