I spent so much time reading about, discussing and pondering how to select and pay for college for our children that it seems almost anti-climactic when the moment arrives. Well, in our household, it arrived this weekend. After a flurry of shopping activity at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond, we moved our son into his dorm room, met roommates and hall mates (and their parents), attended the convocation ceremony, and, well, we left him there.
Throughout the weekend, not a moment was spent considering 529 glidepaths, state tax deductions, UTMA concerns, or loans, as we were completely prepared for him to attend the college which seemed to be the perfect fit for him (and us). As it should be, we were focused on launching a bright, engaging young man into the next step toward adulthood and ruminating just a little about how much we will miss his presence in our daily lives.
