It passes, Christopher. I promise. It gets worse -- when they are still adjusting, and call home unhappy -- but then it gets much, much better.

Other things happen. Good things. That you can't even imagine, yet. But you'll enjoy them a lot.

And it will be so much fun when they all come home on holidays.

Believe me. This is guaranteed.

And hey, you can't get grandchildren unless you release your children!

Here is a grandchild story.

A couple of months ago I took my three year old grandson to the movies with two slightly older children in front of whom he likes to appear very grownup. It was an animated feature that had one slightly scary moment in it. The theater was perfectly quiet when I hear his little voice say, loudly, "Grandma E, if I were you, I would not have come to this movie!"

To be happy, you must look at it this way. You haven't lived until you've had a grandchild. Your actual children are merely a means to that end! So they have to leave home....
