Hang in there. She is going to be just fine. There had to be a time in life where you sent her from the nest to fly solo. I am sure it's scary for you both and I don't look forward to the point in my life where I have to let my DD go in this same way, but it's something that has to be done. You have prepared her for life in the best way you know how. You have taught her what is right and wrong and how to fend for herself. IT's time she shows you that you have done a great job right? You will be down there in mere months for SW weekend and will see that she is settled in just fine. IT's all good momma bird...let her go and fend for herself. She is going to be great. Keep pepping her up, don't talk negative about her being alone and most of all don't keep offering to come and get her....let her do this .....it's very important for her to do this alone. The confidence and independence she will gain from sticking this out will be worth the silent worry you and your DH will have. I say silent cause it's essential you don't show her any of it.
