I too went through the same thing as you with both of my kids away at college...even worse! They both went 'overseas'...one to Cannes, France, and the other to Florence, Italy, (gratefully, on a scholarship)...did not see them for an entire year; and my son for an additional year, away 'overseas' in Israel! Now, that they each have families of their own, I love them all having them near me. It will all work out for you as well, and your children will decide to reside near you after college! You're a wonderful MOM:)D<br /><br />I adore your awesome shrimp fritters, and I also follow the great tip of making sure to dry the veggies first with paper towel to keep them staying crunchy when frying. Thanks for sharing your amazing recipe, my dear friend!<br /><br />Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067009428999484965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218878095118853328.post-18124439983036516202012-10-28T11:08:46.109-05:002012-10-28T11:08:46.109-05:00Awwww, I can only imagine it is really hard for yo...Awwww, I can only imagine it is really hard for you, but social media is amazing these days for sure!

As a person who left home so far away, I always feel my kids would do the same... who knows but I have to expect worse. :) Whatever it is I believe that if we raise them right, they will be around us. Sounds like your children are all amazing and I can see why. :) You are a wonderful mom Malou! And not to mention you are great cook.
