So glad it worked out for you and he is coming home. And the letter the gf wrote is a very good sign.
My oldest son is a sophomore at college far far away and his gf is a close 5 hr drive away. This will be the 2nd year he will go away for Thanksgiving with gf and friends from high school. This is also the 2nd year that we will NOT pay for his trip. He has full ROTC scholarship, room and board scholarship and that wonderful stipend that he uses to visit gf. Oh when will he run out of money?????
This year's trip will be hard on him financially...he's driving instead of flying and worked deals with friends so that he doesn't pay as much for hotel.... other parents are paying fpr friends trips so THAT doesn't help.
Rules: I pay to bring you home for holidays. You pay if you go somewhere else.
We've lived all over the world, he's traveled on his own since he was young, and I've raised this wonderfully independent kid you won't come home for Thanksgiving.
Last year I actually enjoyed having him home for Christmas.....he got his impacted wisdom teeth removed......
