I was thinking, 'My kid is leaving home forever, and life is taken up with minutiae.'"It's an emotional rollercoaster, a combination of missing him and feeling happy and excited for him."New BeginningsYou've taught them how to do their laundry, brought them a year's supply of toothpaste and shampoo, and lectured them on the do's and dont's of life beyond your home.
