I understand exactly what you're feeing. My son spent 4 months in Israel on the EIE program in the fall of 2006. He was packing while still watching bombs falling on northern Israel. It was really hard to let him go then. However, we visited him over Thanksgiving and we all enjoyed our visit. The frequent updates and photos the program provided really helped us stay in touch, and he wrote a blog while he was there: http://aronsbigadventure.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html. When he returned home, his 2nd semester project was to make a movie about his adventure. If you'd like a copy, I'd be glad to send it to you. P.S. I've been a fan of yours for several years. Thanks for all you do for teachers! Is your daughter in the EIE program (a URJ program based on a kibbutz near Jerusalem), or another exchange program? I understand exactly what you’re feeing.

They grow up, have mature thoughts and ideas and are fun to be with. You will find that over time it is actually fun to be an empty nester and that when the kids do come home you actually enjoy them.
