Sent my oldest kid off to college yesterday

I remember the day my daughter left for Kansas (KU) on a softball scholarship. Long way from SoCal and I knew she wouldn't be coming home until the holidays at the earliest. I stood in the shower and cried like a baby. Very proud of her and what she'd accomplished, but still didn't want my "little girl" going so far away.
Hang in there. He'll be back with all the dirty laundry soon enough.
