Many of us have children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews who started college in the last couple of weeks.
The New York Times ran Karin Maloney Stifler’s Letter to her son Colin – with good reason. You might want to pass it on.
Dear Colin,
In a few days, you’ll pack the car and leave home to begin your college career. I can’t deny the big lump in my throat as I say this and imagine your empty seat at the family dinner table and your eerily quiet and tidy bedroom. I will miss you, terribly… how your wacky humor makes me laugh, how your unique perspectives on life make me think, and how even in your crankiest moods, you flash those intense blue eyes, full of passionate beliefs and determination that show the promise of a man who will make a difference in this world.
This is the start of the letter, you can read the rest here.
