Wow. It must be really hard for parents. I don't have children, but I recently moved out of my parents house. I didn't move 15 minutes away though. I moved 13 hours away. From Alabama to Chicago. My mother helped move me. She was calm till it came time to say bye. She cried and cried. I didn't cry till she actually left and I cried for about 20 minutes. After that everything was okay. The sad thing is I'm not going to be able to go home this christmas.

I have to buy books for school.
