dib Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It was the hardest thing I've ever done. He's at Florida State, 8 hours away by car, and no airport. The good news is that he sent a photo of his dorm room with his Bills and Sabres posters prominently dispayed. Love your kids because 17 years isnt enough.

Ramius Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 You should have told me you were in town dib, we could have grabbed a beer. He did pick a good school though. Our Bills backers numbers have been dwindling in the recent years, but theres still a few of us that go watch all the games. He's welcome to join us! And last time i checked, there's an airport here in tallahassee...unless i've been mysteriously flying out fo somewhere else the last 7years.

Thank God he did not choose the University of Florida Hope both of you do well in this next phase of his young life. Glad to know there are good parents out there like you who care for and support their kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I hear ya dib, dropped #2 child (#1 daughter) off a little over a week ago. Interesting, they do their soriety rush before classes start. As a parent I like that idea a whole lot better than doing it in the middle of the fall semester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry she is a chip off of the "mom block" so she'll do well. She seems pretty grounded and level headed so her future is bright. Lord knows she is light years more mature than I was at her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never admit it, but after a couple weeks of anxiety and getting adjusted he'll realize he misses you as much as you miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he will do fine. Our daughter leaves tomorrow morning for a semester abroad in Denmark. I am finding this one harder than dropping her off at school two years ago.
