We're so unused to grow up
Hey, your kid's grown up. He or she is already doing last years of college, then- university. Near to home or already far away doesn't really matter. He's out of home...and out of heart?
This is a usual story about a student who goes abroad and sees her parents, well, three- four times a year. A typical case in modern life. And, I guess, it is also typical to stop feeling homesick after a while (or just understand that a home is a place within and not a geographical spot).
What I worry about is the feeling that parents stop worrying. They trust you so much, that they just tell you you'll get well when you tell them you've caught a cold. The only thing they seem to worry about is the quality of your study (now if you have problems there, they'll do anything- starting from advice till talking to old friends who could help- to get you out of there.
Why am I writing this? Seems clear- I just phoned my mom. And I hate the feeling that they don't really care (which, of course, is not true). They just stopped worrying. And that worries me..
