When Emma started college, she asked me if I was glad she was leaving. I told her I was happy for her, but sad for me.
She was surprised, "Aren't you glad?!? Won't your life be easier?"
I said no. I said, "Other than being happy for you, there is no upside to you going to college."
I have finally decided there is an upside!
Emma's room makes a spectacular greenhouse. It is situated perfectly to get winter sunlight from late morning until sunset.
I would rather have Emma in that bed than those little seedlings, but I'll take what I can get.

I'm not excited to have Liberty go to college. But I told her the one upside is that she won't use our shower every night!!
Way to see the silver lining! Why do you wish to remain anonymous, Marianne?
