Oh, I know . It is hard. But, it is MUCH easier when they are older, and everyone is ready for them to fly the nest. I still miss my babies, though... two have flown. My son, I hear from every few weeks... not a talk on the phone kind of guy. My daughter... she often calls me a couple times a day! .

I am happy to still have one at home for another eight years .

Has she ever been to DC???? I think it is a super place for kids to go. She'll love it! Does she or a friend have a cell phone? That always help to get a phone call or two .
