wait til your oldest leaves for college... i just went through that this past fall. she is a 3 hour plane ride away from me. technology makes it much different than it was in our day: text msgs, IMs, email and cellphones. we talk as much as we ever did, we are just not in each other’s physical presence.
I have forbidden all of them to leave the state. I am QUITE sure they will comply with my dictates......BWAHAHAHA!!
