Thanks to all for your Norwich related posts. Norwich Dad - your writing is eloquent and your thoughts about your son are very touching! We are preparing to see our son off in August to begin his Rookdom and it is hitting me hard - high school graduation is next week and he is our oldest child. So many emotions! But hearing what other parents have to say about the positive experiences about Norwich is at least one comfort.
Thanks katydid817,
I remember the feeling you are having when my son was a rook. One phone call a week was torture. He was though able to send and recieve emails, keep that in mind. I used to look at the webcams on the Norwich Site just to see if I could see him. It was really like where's Waldo? All the cadets look identicle in uniform especially from a wecam on top of a building. Follow the packing list completely. Any extra stuff he brings goes to storage. Be there for Parent's weekend in October. He can leave with you for a day and a night. He will want "real " food and to watch cable in the hotel.
Tell him to always have a positive attitude, make friends and get good grades. Focus on that and everything else will fall into place.
Good luck to him
and to you because I know what you are going through.
