Well, I'm sure you've heard about enough of my ups and downs on the road to sending my son to college.
After a full day of orientation for the parents and students, Villanova held a beautiful mass at which they blessed the incoming freshman as the parents placed their hands on the heads of their children. It was a fitting way to send him off and say goodbye. He seemed very happy.
The priest ended mass by saying "You gave them roots, we'll give them wings, and together we'll watch them soar!"
I can live with that.

Great pictures!
Looks like his biggest challenge might be not bumping his head when he gets into the top bunk : )
Have a safe flight, young man!
