Those suggestions are fantastic and when my other daughter goes to uni in 2010 I will certainly consider the exchange student idea. Until then I will run up a huge phone bill and be very grateful that there is facebook for me to be able to see how she is getting on. Roll on the Easter break!

Ahh Jacy been there done that....don't worry...my daughter is now nearly 24 (May 09)...she graduated at 21...came home and doesn't want to leave ......I have like you supported her in everything she has wanted to do...encouraged her to spread her wings..but she always flies back to the nest..............

You sound a wonderful caring parent.....

My children are in their forties so I can tell you from long term experience that it never gets any easier. The space they occupy in my heart is huge. The only thing that helps fill that void is the memories of their growing up and how that journey has made them and me who we are today.
