A funny thing...

<p>We dropped our son off on Sunday. The school was amazing! Everyone we met could not have been more welcoming and supportive. The campus is absolutely beautiful, I loved everything! I am so happy we made this choice for him, I just know it was the right one.</p>

<p>Then it was time to say good-by. Well, he and his Dad were fine but I lost it. I cried for about the first 2 hours of the 18 hour drive home. I have cried off and on everyday since then. It's worse when friends are supportive, it makes me cry more! I knew I would be sad when he left but I am honestly surprised by just how sad I really feel.</p>

<p>So, it helps me to know where he is, what he's doing etc... To that end I have emailed him a few times. Ok, a few times a day, I confess. Today I sent him a "you can do it, you're a great kid, it's a great school" email. Here's his response, and I quote-</p>

<p>"Everything is fine. Im not overwhelmed and its not very intense. Just stop emailing me all the time its really annoying."</p>

<p>Ok, I feel better!</p>

<p>Just thought I would share.</p>

<p>Sounds like a great message! If you’re annoying him, and he’s telling you that, he’s in a good place!</p>

<p>BTW–the toughest part about Avon for us parents is leaving the campus!</p>
