My daughter left for college a few hours ago. This will be her junior year. I thought it would be easier to say goodbye this third time around. But here I am already reminiscing about our summer adventures. And dreading my firsts without her. I know she’s fine and doing great and I know my emotional turmoil right now has nothing to do with that. I have adapted well after empty nest syndrome. That’s just it. I don’t know why this lifestyle change is affecting me so deeply third time around. But I have always had a tendency of romanticizing the past. I just don’t know why I do that. Do any of you suffer from this condition? Lol. Is there a term for it? Is there a reason for it?
