Living in Egypt

Laura Fiore · Tue Aug 04, 2009 1:57 am

Isn't that where de-Nile is?

Nick leaves for college in two weeks and two days...I'm pretending it's the 3rd of May so I don't have to face it yet.

Oh no, it's that time again?

I'm sorry you're feeling sad {{hugs}}, but hey look at the bright side at least Jess can keep an eye on him

You're always welcome to come and visit here, just to get over it ..... and I heard Africa is nicer than Egypt

I feel your pain. scrap alot & relive the memories, it helps.

Tell him he has to email you often (and that doesn't mean once a month!).

I always feel sad when my DS goes to college and he is nearby; so I can't imagine what you are going through. We'll be here for you. Your DS will be fine and will have the experience of a lifetime. Make sure he sends lots of photos for you to scrap.

Nick is going to Egypt??? What's he studying???

I have a few more years, like 8, before I feel your pain...although...many times this summer, I wished it was sooner! LOL ...Just kidding! I know I'm going to have a hard time too when my ds goes off to college! (((HUGS))) Laura.

In a fun way...think of all the adventures he'll have and the vacation spot you'll have!!!

((((Hugs)))) I am so sad for you! I know how much you are going to miss him when he leaves. I have no idea what I am going to do in 12 years. I think my reaction will be the exact same. You can come and hang out here at the tiki bar and get some sun.

LOL Leslie...I meant I am living in denial! Nick's going to school at San Francisco State, where Jessica goes! He wants to go into nursing...we'll see if he can get the grades to get into the program. It's so competitive, he'll need at least a 3.8 GPA to get in! Jess promises that if she sees him step out of his dorm room, she'll shoo him back in to study, but if you know anything about my girl, you know she will be the one who's dragging him OUT of the dorm room for the "college experience"!

You are too funny Laura. There's so much to see in Egypt, I'd stay in de-Nile as long as I could

. Nick & Jess will be fine. You've raised them well.

My oldest son moved out 8 years ago - and I still miss him dearly. (((hugs)))

I guess it's different with girls. When my two went to college, I was so ready! The youngest got married the summer after her sophomore year, and except for a short three weeks a couple of years ago when they were house hunting after a move back from MI, she has not lived at home since. The older one on the other hand, is a different story. She is 26 now, and it wasn't until last summer that I was finally able to wave bye-bye for the last time, and only because I moved to a new city.

Don't get me wrong, I love my girls, but I was ready for them to grow up and be on their own! I think it must be a hormone thing.

It is so hard to let them go!

jody01 · Tue Aug 04, 2009 12:52 pm

I totally feel you pain my DS is a sophmore this year and will be leaving In 3 short short years, and I know he will be fine Its me I worry about:(

Janedee · Tue Aug 04, 2009 12:52 pm

I totally feel for you Laura, but at least they are not too far away. Our oldest is now in New Zealand studying and we're finding that amount of distance a lot to deal with, even though she's 24 now!

(((((BIG HUGS))))) Maybe you should come visit me on your way to Beth's?

We could hit up the wineries on the Western Slope

bwhaha - sometimes Im ready for my DD to move out and shes only 3

seriously though, I remember how tough it was for me and my mom when I went to college, heck when I went to camp for the summer one year, but it got better.
