My daughter starts college next year. My wife started crying about her leaving last year. It will be hard to see her go, but I think I'll do like Stevie and wait for it to hit me when it happens.

I have no doubt it will hit me hard when all three of my kids leave for various reasons. As I move into my late 30's kicking and screaming, these kinds of life changes really move me. You start to understand that part of really living life is allowing your emotions to come through. I'm sure you did a great job parenting her, and things will work out great.

I tried to raise my daughter right, but she just didn't get it. So smart she got a free ride at the University of Hawaii including a penthouse in the dorm. So what did she do? Doubled up on her classes & got out early with a Masters. "Slow down!" I say. "Chill at the beach - its free," I say. But nooo.... kids these days...

I love my son dearly, but the day he moves out will be the greatest day of my life. Seventeen years of cleaning up after him has been more than enough.

Sounds like you've prepared her for the inevitable.
Combined congratulations and good luck wishes!

Isn't your daughter like 12 years old or something? When I was at your house a while back she seemed young. 12 is way too young to be getting her own place.
