A friend shared this just now having today dropped my first born at Uni 🇬🇧 it made me cry and I cried today having left him (and I’m not usually that much of a crier at all) your words are beautiful, they assist the release. This pandemic has brought some tough times to relationships and not always have we got it right as parents, the realisation and lesson here is ‘acceptance’ and inner peace that we’ve done our heartfelt best. I know he’s gonna have a freshers blast and make some great new friendships in this new chapter.

This is so wonderful. It really made me laugh and cry and I don't even have one going to college yet! Boy is that gonna be a tough one! But this is so beautiful, I'm so glad I read it. ❤️

A very real and heartfelt blog Priya!!!

You took me back twenty seven years, when I dropped off my first born to college.

You are a loving mother, who has raised a very smart and sensible daughter, and she will make you damn proud.

So…give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
