Few parenting moments feel as bittersweet as dropping your child off at college. It’s the moment years of raising, guiding, and praying culminate in a new season of independence, not just for your child, but for you as a parent.

In Episode 259 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra share their heart and personal experiences about this milestone moment. From the tearful goodbyes to the quiet drive home, they unpack both the challenges and the opportunities this transition brings.

You’ll discover:

• Why letting go is one of the hardest acts of parenting.
• How to trust God with your child’s future when you’re no longer right beside them.
• The emotional rollercoaster parents face during this season, and how to process it with grace.
• Practical ways to stay connected without controlling.
• How to embrace the new rhythms of marriage, family, and faith after your kids leave home.
