Not all kids can say that, so she is ahead of the game.

You have done great! now...breathe. the kid will be back soon.
I thought dating and driving would kill me but I lived. Then both went off to college and how I cried when they left. By the end of Winter break I said goodbye easily. Spring break seemed long to me. They grow up and start saying goodbye. We all did. Circle of life. My friend is celebrating being a grandpa. He was 30 when we met. I was so young I thought him so mature. We're both gray now.
