Struggling to Let Go of My College-Stude...

Struggling to Let Go of My College-Student Daughter

When I sent my daughter, Emma, off for her freshman year of college a few years ago, I was sad down to my bones.

Indeed, this is the season when countless articles are published recommending helicopter parents to stop hovering (盘旋) so much. _________ based on Emma’s college schedule “helicopter children” may be more _________.

The first one out of my _________ has come fluttering back home nearly every month of the year. In the meantime, _________ keeps our children connected far more than I was with my _________ in the late 70s. I used to call home once a week from a pay phone. Emma calls, texts or e-mails me almost every day.

Given all this, missing Emma seems kind of _________; I’ve never really gotten the chance. So why, then, have I still felt that I’ve experienced a great _________?

All Summer long _________ Emma left that first year, I cried _________—at everything. I took Emma out for countless mother-daughter breakfasts, lunches, coffees and walks.

At the same time, I was unusually __________. In my eyes, Emma had spent the weeks going out with her friends too much, not working enough and __________ not spending enough time with me!

Although it’s taken quite a while to __________ what was happening, I now understand that my unhappiness and anxiety are not a(n) __________ of how much time Emma and I spend together.

__________ how often she comes home, Emma is now gone in a far grander sense. She is well on the road to __________, and from this, she will never __________.

I know full well that this is completely __________. And I take pride and joy in seeing Emma make her way so confidently and capably. She’s going to be fine and we will always remain __________.

Nonetheless, Emma’s going to college has __________ the passing of something that I cherished—her childhood and my __________ to her as a child—and I can’t help being a little sad about that.
