"I think many moms will relate because I felt happy for her, yet emotional and sad. It felt like a big moment in my life; I wondered where my child was going and what stage we were at. It's like, Nobody needs their diapers changed anymore. What's happening?”
"It was really emotional to see her leave. I know it will touch many moms who are either sending their kids off soon or have just seen them go. It's tough. It's bittersweet because you're excited for them, but you can't help but cry."
"Although it was hard to see Antonia leave for school, Melissa, the proud mom, shares that her daughter is already thriving." She had doubts about her living space, the showers, and the roommate situation," Melissa says. "But I knew she'd adjust. I thought she'd be back within a month, but she's doing great."
"Nope, she's not just settling, she's thriving in Delaware. She's loving every minute of it and just got into her desired sorority. She's over the moon."
