How awful and sad for you and your family Leaving home for college is emotionally stressful by itself and then adding that tragedy to it makes it triple. My heart and my prayers go out to you and your son. Keep in close contact with him for a while if you can, it will reassure him that while he is on his own, mom is just a phone call away he needs you. Get some rest honey, we'll all be here when you get back (hugs) Donna

THANK You donna...nice new piC!! you're looking good ma-ma

Crystal- I'm sorry for your son's loss. What a horrible thing to happen to him and all of his friends. As far as college goes, I remember being very scared and nervous my first couple of nights. I remember calling my mom and she told me how proud of me she was and that it was ok to miss home. I also remember her saying that if I really didnt like it I could come home at the end of the semester. Of course that never happened (she knew it I wouldnt want to come home either!). By week 2 I made so many friends I was sad when Christmas Break came! Lesson: He will be fine! I'm sorry you are sad too. As a mom I know a little of what you are going through... my son is starting preschool this year and I have to let this little 4 year old 38lb boy get on a bus and leave me. I know he will be fine but it is still hard. Just remember he is only an hour or so away... and only 2 seconds by phone! My prayers are with ya! Beth

Crystal, I am sorry about what happened. I hope your son is doing ok. Let me know if there is anything I can do!!!! HUGGS

Ruth thank you so much!!! Love ya girl!

Beth your mom totally sounds like me or I should say I totally sound like her...gave the same talk to him!!! thank you so much and yes we have to let them go and they will be fine........it's just hard.

It is tragic how especially some young people don't realize how important they are. I am sorry your son had to go through that. However, he has an awesome mom for support. Know you are doing the best for him. Great birds don't learn how to fly till they are pushed with guidance of their momma's from the nest. Keep on Rocking, Bill

Bill that is so true!! thank you for always lifting me up! Crystal
