Maybe Elmo can have adventures like Flat Stanley. :) I remember leaving home for college, and there is one thing that I can assure you: it was not easy for him to leave his family behind. And even though he has only just left, a small care package from home would probably be a welcome sight in the mailbox. Hang in there.... love, j.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814493743418654467.post-53593156761735280142008-08-24T19:05:00.000-05:002008-08-24T19:05:00.000-05:00Agreed: You sure know how to make the tears flow. ...Agreed: You sure know how to make the tears flow. I'm bawling (and I was already stuffy to begin with, I think I'll order another box of kleenix from the front desk).<BR/><BR/>Good advice in these two previous posts so I won't repeat what they've said. <BR/><BR/>Just remember that I'm thinking of you guys and just wish I had more to offer to help ease the hurt. <BR/><BR/>Take another picture of Elmo and send to J on his phone so he has that each night to look at! Or take photos throughout the house- of Elmo eating dinner with you, watching TV etc. and tell him that Elmo is filling in for him till he gets back!DeeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142007167994462953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814493743418654467.post-2019238203079650162008-08-24T18:11:00.000-05:002008-08-24T18:11:00.000-05:00He will come home, again and again.

I can't imagine what you're going through, but know you did a great job and he will always come home to you. My guess is he'll do some serious crying when he is alone, and you're going to get lots of phone calls in the next few days.Ronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755869501331386672noreply@blogger.com
