I really didn't feel a big upset when my kids went off to college. Does that make me a bad mom?<br />And then I moved away from my kids! They were both in college when my dh and I moved to another state. My daughter said--"Wasn't I supposed to leave you?"Lyn Cotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366375647118584580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-44052523149706764532010-06-08T15:50:52.477-07:002010-06-08T15:50:52.477-07:00I was a camp counselor one summer.

When I came home, I slept for five days.<br /><br />As for how to prepare for children leaving, I don't even want to think about it.

It was an extremely difficult time for me, however, once I realized that all three of my children were gone, I then found new things to keep me busy, like my new home, my job and even my writing. It's hard to believe she has been gone for 6 years now.authorkathyeberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712985584680641030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-30768631587482434802010-06-08T09:16:08.838-07:002010-06-08T09:16:08.838-07:00Terri, I'll tell you what hit me harder is whe...Terri, I'll tell you what hit me harder is when the younger child left. But what filled up the days was the writing and writing friends. The way to look at it, you've done the job of preparing for them for the world.<br /><br />I didn't worry about them when they were at school, but when they came home vacations, I couldn't go to sleep until they were at home.Leann Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840850473156676151noreply@blogger.com
