The author reflects on the emotional journey of parenting through a child’s transition to college life. Despite initial feelings of loss when her only son moved from the Midwest to Southern California for college, she finds solace in his enthusiasm and success. He has discovered his passion for cinema, made lasting friendships, and feels at home in his new environment. Rather than being upset about his desire never to return home, she embraces his growth and achievement as a fulfilling aspect of parenting.
Anyone who's parented a child to adulthood knows letting them fly off into the world is equal parts rough and rewarding.
He doesn't ever want to live at home again, but that's actually quite outstanding because he's found his place and people.
