<p>For me it became real the night we finished packing D’s stuff. Everything up until that moment was hectic, exciting, etc. She went out with friends for one get together and I completely fell apart. I was ok the next day because we were busy driving, checking into a hotel, buying last minute items, but that last night in the hotel with her was REALLY hard. I cried after she went to sleep!</p>
<p>For her I it became real after her room as set up and she left us to join her orientation group. She told me she cried for several nights even though she was crazy busy that entire week. She loved her school from the very beginning, she just really missed home.</p>
<p>It’s different for everyone, but I think you and yours will do great!!</p>
