Our daughter left home to go to ASU for 4 years which was about 40 minutes away from our home--rough. But, when she left to go to the U of Iowa for her Masters and Doctorate we mourned! As the years went by, we began to realize this is a normal letting go--LOL, much easier for the child than the parent. I now understood how hard it must have been for my mother to let me fly off to ASU from Colorado. It's a price that we pay for being loving parents--letting your child fly free is tough but because we love them so much we have to pay a price--letting them go! I assure you, that your relationship will change, but it's for the better. He's heading to adulthood and the bond will not weaken, it will grow and before you know it, you will find you have an adult child who is now an equal, a friend but always, always a piece of your heart!
