My son lived at home for college, and then dropped out after a year, 'cause he never went to class, and flunked everything! 2 daughters went off to college, and the 2nd daughter was the one crying when her older sister left! I didn't get depressed until later. Now daughter #1 is living at home again (at age 28!!) and daughter #2 is right now in Nairobi, Kenya, on a mission trip, and when she returns, she's teaching school in Fairfax, VA....far, far from home. Oh yeah, and she managed to get malaria this trip to Kenya!!! Wonderful!!! :thumbdown: You'll get used to it, but it will take a bit of time....
