I told me college kids - I would like to have spent at least 20 years with you. That means 18 years at home and another 2 years total time after HS.
Both kids will be working in the summer so they will be home for 2 weeks or less. DD will only be home this winter break for 7 days.
Whenever we have saved up some money and vacation time, we do like to visit them at school. even just a dinner together means so much.
Oh, you made an old man cry.
