My daughter attended college in our hometown, delaying any "empty nest" sadness on my part. However, the day after she graduated from college in 2002, she packed her little car up and moved to Dallas where she now lives. I would have been much sadder if I did not have Gmail to help us remain in contact through stressful job searches, break-ups with boyfriends, lost cell phones, and other crises. I have saved over 1400 emails that I will someday combine in a scrapbook as a sort of history of our relationship.
