My son went off to college today

[Deano]

My son started his Freshman year in college today.  The proudest and worst day of my life.  He's gonna do well but I HATE to see him leave.

If you're so inclined, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Hmmm, just talked to my neighbor yesterday and his two kids are in college, and he and his wife are splitting up? That kinda shocked me, however in this day and age I shouldn't be surprised about anything.

Hello Dean, I understand what you're feeling.

He'll go through it and do well.  Be proud.

I have a hope too, that he's able to learn in a free environment.

Hey it's a change but it will all work out!  I remember taking my eldest down to the college and setting up her room. It took all day and the last thing was running cables to her printer.  My wife and I were exhausted and glad to be done, we went to say our good byes and my daughter got this panic look and said,  "You're not leaving me here alone are you?"  Um, yea that was the general idea.  In a day or two she made a lot of friends and all was well.

I sent two daughters to college,  and they came out the other end fine educated citizens.  They both have done well and have good jobs today. No reason to think otherwise about your son!

Our last son living at home is on his way this weekend. The wife is struggling. I will miss him  sooo much, but I know he is headed for a greatest time of his life.

No kids, so don't know what it is from that side. All I know was when that train (long time ago) pulled out of that POS little town I was so happy to be gone.
