# 7 HAVING THOMAS BE HAPPY AT COLLEGE

My son, Thomas, is my oldest and the first to head off to college.  As the time drew near, I became more calm and less worried about missing him.  I realized that he wasn't gone for good and I would still see him quite a bit.  I was however, still worried that he would not be happy there.  We dropped him off two days ago and this morning I had an email from him waiting in my inbox.  He is SUPER happy and that makes me happy!  I'm sure that he will have times where he is homesick but overall he will love this experience.  Not much could be better than that!
