coping with sister going off to college?

my twin....23 y/o...i understand people have to move on. but the thought of her leaving and only getting to see her maybe 4 times a year kills me. i rarely cry n thinking of that tears me up. weve fought yea but its family and recently became real close. im scared to even go to drop her off because yea wed have to leave here there. this sounds stupid but i have DDR for the xbox, 2 dance mats, mine and hers. i cant play it now cause i have noone to compete against. and the little things get to me. calling her to see if she wants to go to the mall or something. didnt know how people dealt with the same happening or something close to it.

    It is hard. I have 6 sisters and there was a time when ALL of them were scattered around the country. Now I'm gone and 4 of them are all back close to home. You'll just have to treasure those 4 times a year, write a lot of letters and emails and make a lot of phone calls. It does NOT sound stupid at all that the little things count. It is so sweet! Make it your 5 year plan to live close to her. It is great to have something like that to look forward to. I know I am planning to do that with some of my sisters. For real. Awww, feel better, honey!

    LET GO OFF YOUR SISTER IN YOUR HEART, AS MUCH AS WE LOVE OUR SIBLINGS WE HAVE TO LET THEM GO AT SOME POINT IN TIME AND LIFE.
