Sending first kid off to college

Yup, my wife and I were both trying to keep it together when we left our daughter after getting her settled in to residence her first year. She was still 17 and 3 hours away. I'll never forget that last look and wave , a big( I'm kinda scared) smile from her and off she went thru the door. Picked her up on major holidays and home for the summers. Now 20 and in her 3rd year of university. She has grown so much being on her own, we are very proud of her. Its definitely a life changing situation for all involved. I'm sure your son will love it once he gets into his new routine.
