Took our daughter to USC yesterday (two hours away). It's her first time being away from home for an extended period of time. All was good until my wife, son and I had to say goodbye, as we all cried saying our goodbyes to her. It was tough to leave her there, although we have prepared her for the past 18 years in the best way we could. I think she will do great (she wants to be a pharmacist), as she's smart as a whip and very determined (made straight A's all through school, all AP and Honors classes, NHS, Beta Club, captain of the swim team, etc.).

I cried again when I got home and read a two page letter she had written and left for me. She wrote that she was very happy with her mom and I, glad we were her parents, and appreciated all that we have done for her.

Anybody else have similar experiences taking their kids to university?

Sorry no pix.
