13. We have 2 sons, now 26 and 23.

As the last year of high school approached for our older one, I remember hearing lots of parents saying they couldn't wait until their kids left for college. I did not feel that way at all. When we took son #1 to his school, which was only 90 miles away, I told my husband that I thought I had done rather well to cry only half the way home.

When they were little, there were individual days that felt as if they would never end (especially in the dead of winter in the Chicago area with a husband who was an airline pilot and gone a lot, and no grandparents nearby and too damn cold to go outside), but overall, the time flew by.
