Off to College: A Guide for Parents | Roger H. Martin

Not book related but we moved Sami into her dorm yesterday. We were greeted with a rainbow. Plus her first snow of the year today ❄️
Got her an early Valentine‘s Day gift when she found a stuffed dog that reminded her of Sherlock. She got me the same one so we‘d match! #ReadyNotReady to leave tomorrow. #proudmom

dabbe Good luck, Sami! 📕 2y

Read4life Thank you, @dabbe 💙 2y

AmyG I am reading your letter about your Sami going to college. All the best to her! 🙌🏻🎉 2y

Keeper of the Lost Cities Collection Books 1-5: Keeper of the Lost Cities; Exile; Everblaze; Neverseen; Lodestar | Shannon Messenger

#ReadyNotReady is what I‘m feeling as my daughter gets ready to start college in 2 weeks.
Reading this series together before she leaves is one way to knock out a series for #SeriesLove2023.

I‘m ready for her to start her next chapter & I know she‘s excited and (thanks to volleyball & the recruiting process) will be surrounded by amazing people right from the start. But, I‘m going to miss her SO MUCH & can‘t believe I won‘t see her everyday.

Andrew65 A great series to read together and I hope it gives you happy memories. Will be thinking of you, at least these days there is Zoom or virtual calls to regularly keep in touch and actually see the person. Such a difficult transition for any parent. ❤️ (edited) 2y

Chrissyreadit ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2y

TheSpineView Great that you reading it together!📚📚📚 2y

Keeper of the Lost Cities Illustrated & Annotated Edition: Book One | Shannon Messenger

pick

My daughter starts college in 2 weeks after graduating high school early. She‘s going 7 hours from home 🙁. She‘s asked me to buddy read the entire KOTLC series with her before she leaves. 🤓
We have the annotated first book which is “Almost a Chunkster”. Love discussing books with her 💙 On to book 2.

Chrissyreadit OMG!!! That‘s so crazy My Son graduated HS a year ago to complete his associates degree (he technically should have graduated in June) finished 2 associates degrees in Dec (dual enrolled in HS) and leaves for college also in 2 weeks and has been asking me to read this series also! Handed to me and I keep telling him I will… Are you struggling with her leaving? I‘m a MESS! What school? 2y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Best wishes to your daughter. It's scary to send them out into the world!! 2y

Amiable Love this —the completed book and the mom-daughter buddy read! 😍📚 2y

Read4life @Chrissyreadit I‘m #ReadyNotReady 😂 I know she‘s ready and excited but I can‘t believe I won‘t be seeing her everyday. She‘s going to Susquehanna in PA. Because of volleyball, we‘ve been there 4 weekends since she committed and was accepted. That really helped me see her interactions and meet people she‘ll be spending a lot of time with. I know she‘ll be in good hands and I‘ve seen how happy she is there. But I‘m still SO EMOTIONAL 🥹 2y

Chrissyreadit I completely understand!!! I‘m also really struggling. 2y
