aww thats nice, well im my case my family is extremely close so there is definatly that seperation issue, honestly when she first goes dont call alot, because she's getting settled getting to kno people try not to coddle too much during that time , i say give it a month or two before you start calling every few days if thats what you intend. Since i'm not a parent i really can't say what will make you feel better, coming to terms with her leaving can be difficult but think of it this way, u were a great mom, you supported her emotionally financialy etc. and her going to college atests to your sucesses as a parent. Feel accomplished and focus on helping any other children you have get to the same point your daughter is at right now. Another tip is...mail her letters/packages...as goofy as this sounds snail mail makes everything much more special especially if she doesn't know its coming. Of course you can talk on the phone but the attention to detail that goes into a letter and taking the time to write one or send her some goodies from home that she might miss is a real treat and very special. anyway thats my two cents. :)
Her? Or do you really mean you? i'm afraid the chicks leave the nest. Just assume she will manage fine. Best of luck.
My daughter (only child) went away to college last year. It was more of a transition for me than her. I let her set the mood. If she wanted me to hang around, I would have. If she wanted frequent visits I would have. My daughter (and I) transitioned well. When your daughter goes away to college she will meet tons of new people in the exact situation, away from home for the first time. She became so busy with school, work, clubs and social activities that I couldn't visit that often, she was always busy. We stayed in touch with frequent calls and emails. Your daughter is about to have the best time of her life.
My big tip is to not make the final good byes a big emotional scene. If I acted the way I felt my daughter would have worried about me.
Our only daughter had to go half the world away from India to Indianapolis, USA for studies. It was a wrench. My wife and I are both academics. Took it philosophically..
