Thank you for the kind words and sympathy. I know I am not the only one going/gone through this and that helps me feel better. One of my child's roommates is the baby of the family and the only girl. Her mom (who is now an empty nester) left two loaves of homemade bread for her daughter and roommates. I walked down the stairs with the other mom and wasn't the only teary eyed one.

On to a new chapter in our lives

SK, yeah, my college student is only 9.
