Just seeing Hannah crying and shaking in the intro already got me crying, I’m so proud of Ariana, she’s such an amazing, beautiful, independent women. Love to you all💖
My biggest advice to Ariana as a senior for my bachelor's, take advantage of EVERYTHING the school has to offer. Email professors and TAs if u have questions, go to their office hours, get tutoring if the school has it especially if they have special study sessions for exams, go to advisor drop in hours, if yur struggling emotionally/mentally see if yur school has campus therapists. Utilize everything.
Second this. Very sound advice! To Ariana: You can even go to tutors to keep you on track and stay focused. It doesn’t have to be because you’re falling behind. And also therapy. It doesn’t have to be dire. Go if you need to talk or process. Just find your way and stay organized. Best of luck! And congratulations.
Don’t let anyone tell you your over reacting to your child moving out and to college it’s a major event in your families lives. No one gets to tell you how to process that! You’re fine with your emotions and your feelings are valid! You can be happy for her and sad for your household. It’s an adjustment for everyone in your home as well as her.
Allie B, I couldn't agree with you more!!! My daughter moved four hours away and I was devastated. No one should be telling anyone how to handle these events in life. Ariana, just remember to be true to whom you are. Always ask yourself this. Will this promote whom I want to be? Will this hurt myself or others? Do I really need those munchies at 3 am? Lol. You are going to have sooo much fun. Oh, one more thing:. Call your Mom!!!
I really saw the pain in Hannah’s eyes and just her body language. She was shaking. I hope she’s doing okay now that more of the older kids are moving out and things are changing. I hope the best for her I know you guys are there for her and will comfort her. Sending the best wishes!
You and Aaron have given these kids the chance at full filling their dreams which they might not have had if they had stayed in toxic environments ... You have given them that unconditional love and support. May god continue to bless you and yours. ❤
Oh man, seeing Hannah cry always gets me :( Her heart is so big and you can tell she takes it the hardest when someone moves out or a big change happens, you can always see the amount of pain she's in through her eyes, body language and vulnerability. She's been through so much and I really hope she's doing alright with all these changes, I've noticed she's been more quiet for awhile. But I know she's so strong and has an amazing support system surrounding her
I am so proud of Ariana. The woman she had become. The example she set out to everyone. My advice NEVER give up, stay safe, and always ask mom and dad for advice if no one else can. Keep looking at the future and reaching for the stars as you will make it. Hugs and good luck. Love you guys.😭😭❤️💜🧡
I feel so sad for Bella. She was the closest to Halie and then Halie moved out and now she was the closest to Ariana and she just moved out. I loved seeing the sisters accompanying Ariana ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You got this lil' Ari! Much love to you all!
I literally cried 😭 Ariana is one of the kids here that I really admire. Her siblings obviously loved her a lot and she made an impact to them. Hoping for a safe and wonderful college life to Ari 🤍
Omg. This episode got me. I love the relationship the kids have with each other. And when Hannah and Bella started crying it got me the most. Growing up in the foster care system you always hope to have relationships with your own siblings like your kids have each other. I love how your kids really love and care for each other. Good luck Ariana in college. Enjoy the experience and meeting new people. I didn’t want to go college right at 18 but I got my BSW and MSW later in life. But now I have my MSW and working for cps working with foster parents and training them to be better foster parents
@@nodaknorskie1486 that’s awesome. I also want to open up my own girls program because I used to work in girls group home and working there got me thinking about it and now working for the county I want to do it a little more every day.
@@melindahunt4948 I hope it goes well for you. I supervised 5 group homes. The boy's homes were way easier to deal with. But it was fun I mean only someone who does what you and I have done would say that probably..lol.
Word of advice from someone who just finished their freshman year. It’s very easy to get distracted with friends and going out, especially not having you parents to constantly check and ensure you are staying on track with school. It can be hard to balance your school work with your social life but you got it!!!❤️Can’t wait to hear about your first year:)
Don’t let anyone tell you this isn’t a big deal! It is! You’ll see her, but your everyday dynamic has changed. I FEEL ALL OF THIS!!!! My daughter is an officer in the Army and she’s out in the world too after college - it’s so hard! You are so right - it feels bipolar….so extremely PROUD and so extremely heartbroken for the change all at the same time!! HUGS TO YOU ALL and good luck to your sweet girl! ♥️
She didn’t!! I DID! The feeling of being so proud and so heartbroken at the same time makes you feel so crazy because how can you be both at the same time? That’s what I was saying.
I just cried like a baby through the last half of this video. You guys are so supportive of each other and encouraging. The minute you guys were hugging Ariana, I lost it! Ive been watching you guys for the last 2 years at least. I am so proud of Ariana, and every kid. Good Luck in College Ariana. you are amazing, and beautiful.
Give bella and hannah extra loves and cuddles to help them cope with her being gone. They will hopefully get to talk to her every night and still be able to keep that close bond. Congratulations Ariana you have this and make your family proud
my heart breaks everytime a kid moves out. it’s the cycle of life but it never gets easier. it’s been so amazing to be able to see them grow up and be part of their journey. i am so happy for Ariana, she has such a great character and will continue to make you guys proud. sending hugs and hoping as the days go by that the younger kids feel better ❤️🩹
This actually hits too close to home, because this August I am also moving out to college to pursue my master's in a different city... literally 8 hours drive away from home. I started crying the moment I clicked on this video... kuddos to us both, Ariana :")
Oh my gosh! This took me back to the day we took our son to college. I remember walking away from that dorm and leaving him there was a feeling I can’t even describe. Today he is a Pastor with a wonderful wife and four amazing sons. He was the first to make me a mom and I am so very proud of him and the Godly man he has become. Those first steps of his leaving home were so hard to watch but the life he has built for him and his family is built on that foundation. May God Bless you and keep you and may you know His peace.
I have cried for 34:11 Arianna no matter how overwhelming college can be, just push through it. Think of what your outcome will be when you finish. Your family are always by your side. Call them, message them, FaceTime them. Speak of them to your new friends. You have grown up in front of alot of us viewers, & speaking for myself, you can do this. Enjoy your experiences & you will look back on this time of your life & say to yourself "I'm a college graduate". Best of Luck 👩🎓
Alex was spot on with his advice. It’s good to always keep a good side with your enemies. That way you’ll always know what they are up to. I live by that advice too!
You never have to explain the love you have for your children. I was adopted at 3 weeks old. It will be 3 yrs in Sept since I lost my momma and we were super close. I do not think most people understand how hard it is and may think it's too much how much I miss my momma, but I do not care, because the love of a mother and a daughter can not be matched. You guys are terrific parents and family. I wish Ariana all the best.
Good luck Ariana!!! YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!! I know how hard this must be, but know that your family will ALWAYS be here for you, and you are so loved, special, smart, and talented ❤❤❤
I feel you, Crystal, it hurts your heart when you have had a child daily, and all of a sudden they are no longer there everyday, but take comfort in the fact that you raised some awesome kids, and when they are ready to leave the nest, it is because you and AAron have given them the love that they needed and the confidence that they can make it in this crazy world. Job well done to both of you
This broke me because I finally see what my Mum went through when I went off to university. I wasn't quite as close, but she had to leave me in a new city three hours away with a broken door. My landlords were lovely btw, but Mum barely made it up the road before bawling and bawled when she got home too. I know she was proud of me for moving and going to university, but also seeing everyone so upset, I can see how much of struggle it was for Mum and everyone back home too. I hope Ariana has the best time ever at college!
I feel for all the girls. They are so close and one being an hour away has to hurt. I sit here with tears because i wish i had that kind of bond when i was growing up. What a special family!! God bless!!!
As much as I cried throughout this video, I am still so happy and hopeful about the future for Ariana. I did notice how difficult it is for Hannah and Bella to say goodbye. I'm sure with the many losses they have suffered in their lives, this one is very difficult to bear. The wonderful thing is that this is a lifelong, lasting bond and there will be many hugs and laughter, and experiences to share in the future. I love you all!💗💗💗💗💗💗
So proud of you Ari, crying for someone you haven’t met is just how close you make us all feel to your family!! Balling over here and my kids are like momma why are you crying, all I can say is don’t grow up!!
Don’t EVER let anyone tell you how to feel! When a child grows up and leaves home they take a piece of your heart and we all deal with that in our own way. Sending love and good thoughts. God bless!
I didn’t leave for college until I was 20. It was only 1.5 hours away. It’s been almost 20 years and I can still remember how hard it was to watch my family (mom, dad and grandparents) drive away. My first year was REALLY hard. I’m sitting here in isolation because of a known exposure and all I want to do is go hug my Gramma. Change isn’t always easy, and it’s different for everyone. I hope that Ariana has an amazing year! ❤️
My son is finishing up his first year of college 450-500 miles away and only saw him 5 days this year . Picking him up next week for his 3 week summer break. Sounds bad but the best thing for her is to stay and not come home as much so she can grow as an individual (esp with that large family) and can grow close with friends and experience college. It’s been wonderful for my sons personal growth.
I feel like Ariana, Hannah & Bella are such an iconic trio - my heart hurts for the three of them right now ): ❤️ sending so much love & positive energy to each and every one of you
Hearing you speak of the dynamic change is so true. You’re mourning the loss/change of what will never be the same, while being proud and excited for what’s to come for HER. It’s a difficult transition but one that you’ve prepared her for and we’re all proud of the new roads Ariana is taking for her future. Good luck girl! Don’t get toooo caught up in the fun. Always remember WHY you’re there and WHAT you want to accomplish in your time there. Sometimes, saying No is the right answer for a better tomorrow/future.
I'm not cring your crying ... my heart breaks for Halie, Hannah and Bella..I'm sure is super hard to feel like a loss especially for Bella when she just formed this incredible bond! Everytime a child moves on past our home it's a statement about how great they were raised. We raise our kids to be these incredible humans but it's hard to let them go when they get there. Love to all of you!! Congrats Ariana. Study hard, enjoy cheer, make friends and continue being the incredible young woman you have become!!
Search for desk shelves for dorms! They have these modular units that sit on top of the desk helping to maximize the space! So glad the moving crew got to go - I know they are so proud of their sister! ♥️
This was emotional!!! Didn’t think I’d cry…. But it’s so sweet. Arianna is such a large personality and such a bright light. I’m sure her not being there will be hard. She’s forging a new path and it’s a gift. Be kind to yourselves as u miss her. She’s accomplished so much. Big hugs and best wishes to her!
I was holding back tears the entire time!! I totally understand what you mean that even though she’s only an hour away it still changes the dynamic of your family with her not there. For the first few times she comes home and leaves again you may have those same feelings but the more she comes back and forth the easier it will get. Hugs to all of you 💜
I have been with you all since the beginning a Crazy Pieces, Everytime one of your kids accomplishes something, I feel like a proud Aunt, I laugh with you guys, I cry with you guys and I get excited with you guys, you all are really like an extended family to me♥️
I cry every time i watch this vlog. But it hits me every time when you guys are saying goodby and Bella Hugs ariana for the "Last time" before leaving the dorm.
Thats the feeling of every mother. But you should always know whaty mom said"The Universe will kick you out of your nest so you can fly. But you always comes back to the nest finally". So its ok to cry but ariana will always come to the nest eventually.If possible just send this qoute to ariana that my mother said"Whenever You Find Yourself Doubting How Far You Can Go, Just Remember How Far You Have Come. Remember Everything You Have Faced, All The Battles You Have Won, And All The Fears You Have Overcome."
I have been following your family for years! Through the good and the bad. I am so proud to see everyone grow up. Ariana is becoming (has always been) an amazing, smart woman! Keep up the great work!!
My heart is breaking for all of you. Roots and wings! While you and Aaron have given Ariana roots with your beloved family, you have also given her strong wings. Because of your love, she can fly. I felt the same way when each of my children left for college. It changes everything at home. ❤️
Congratulations Ariana!! I'm so proud of you for chasing your dreams! Enjoy every minute of living in the dorms and enjoying college life! Crystal, it is completely normal for you to be upset and cry because your little girl is moving to college. I cried watching the video and she's not my child. Hang in there and just hug the other kids extra tight and enjoy the time she comes home! Just love you guys!
@@juliamclane8319 do you have a problem with correcting everyone’s stuff your on most of the comments correcting things to your liking as if we are students and your our teacher correcting how we type things 🤦♀️
Congrats Ariana! Advice from a college graduate- don’t get so swept up in your social life that you forget what’s most important- your studies and finding your career path. I’m 29 and I still haven’t found it because I spent all my time partying and having too much fun. Stay focused girl! 💕
Now I’m crying 😭 You shouldn’t have to explain yourself, of course you’d be upset, your child will no longer be with you every single day. That’s a major change. Ariana will do great things. I’m sure you’ll see her once a week or at least once a fortnight. X
Such a loving family. Ariana is so blessed to have a wonderful family like yours. Crystal, Hannah, and Bella are so close to Ariana. I couldn't stop crying watching you all. Thanks to Crystal and Aaron for creating such a loving and supportive environment for your children. Ariana will be free to grow and flourish because she has a loving family
Oh how this brought back memories of moving my one and only child, my son ,off to college! I was so happy and proud of him. Excited for his new adventure in life, but so broken hearted as my Husband and I pulled away from his dorm. Going home and sitting in his room crying my eyes out because I already missed him so much. But 23 years later a man stands before me with his college degree and Masters . He has been teaching music for 19 years. He's an amazing Husband, Father ,Son, friend and teacher to so many who have learned from him. My heart goes out to you Chrystal!! I'm proud of you Ariana !! Good luck !!
this video opened my eyes to how it must’ve felt when i moved away from home the first couple times. the way that my mom described the feeling when i left for a few months to do the disney college program twice (i was 13 hours away from home), was the house feels so quiet and almost off balance. im one of 4 kids and even though they were talking and doing their daily routines, not having that one person it just feels so empty. my brothers were so torn with me leaving as well, and when i moved back, it was amazing. i didn’t understand what she meant until two of my brothers moved out, leaving one of my brothers and i here at home. they live 10-15 minutes away from us and visit all the time, but it feels so empty and im bored all of the time now that they aren’t here and it’s just my brother and i.
Watching this made re-experience the emotions from when I moved out. It hurts us (kids) too. It finally hits that home won't be the same as it used to be even when visiting. You'll start seeing the changes of getting older in not only yourself, but with your family/parents.
I have felt the same way each time my children moved out. We have 6 and down to 2. Its heart breaking each time to let our babies go. Your a loving Mom. ❤️ No shame in love!
Have the best time Arianna xxx I do know how you feel Crystal...I'm crying with you and remembering that feeling of leaving my son. I felt like the light had gone out of my life...even though he came home the first weekend with his washing lol loving and letting go...the two hardest parts of loving your child ❤️ Big hugs Hallie, Hannah and Bella xxx not forgetting dad being strong in the background xxx
Best of luck Arianna! And to the rest of the siblings, change can be hard. But you have phones, computers, social media, and will be able to talk and connect! You got this!!
Congratulations I know you must be so very proud! I usually cry with all of you because your family touches a lot of people. But this time I cried with you for a different reason. I lost my oldest daughter almost 3 weeks ago. Those memories that are so important to you... keep making them. Good luck Arianna I wish you the best!! And thank you all for sharing your family.
The bond you have with your children and the bond the siblings have is so amazing and it shines so much in this video. It will be a big void with out Ariana not been there all the time. I Understand how your Mama heart is breaking Crystal the love you and Aaron have for all your children is unique because each and everyone has their own special story. This video had me sobbing. Ariana is going to make so many memories. She is an amazing young lady.
Crystal you be sad. One of your birds are spreading their wings and bettering herself. So proud of Ariana for going for her dreams! Good luck in college and in cheer!
She is going to do amazing at college. It's so wonderful to see the great support you both provide for your children. I totally get what you're saying about her leaving. Another thing may be that you see she is starting her life separate from home. Like she's out in the world.
Folding a fitted sheet is EASY. Take all the rounded corners, truck them inside each other. Lay it down on the bed, make it rectangular. Finish the fold. Makes a nice little package. EASY!
Even though you know they’re coming home for holidays and weekends it’s still hard to not seeing them everyday like you’re used to. Sending hugs and Ariana you got this!!!
i was crying so much bc Ariana is the sweetest soul she's so kind, funny, humble, and beautiful she looks so fun to hang out w and were gonna miss her so much i hope she has fun and college doesn't stress her out a lot hope she has fun and does what she dreams of doing. so proud of her!
Hannah seems really sad and distant and I hope she will be okay 👍. Arianna we are going to miss you and your bright cheery smile and laughter. I know that you will do great things and it's going to be hard at first being away from your family, but yo will get through it. You are going to take on the whole world with new adventures and anew chapter. I wish you the very best of luck.
Change is hard but a part of life. I know Ariana not being there is difficult for everyone. You can be proud but miss her terribly. The family dynamic has changed and one of the puzzle pieces is missing. Give them time to readjust. Ariana, give yourself time too. You have done a very hard thing and your emotions are gonna kick in. Let them. Tears can be healing. Congratulations Ariana. We are all praying and rooting for you in this new chapter in your life.
I definitely understand how you all are feeling about Arianna leaving for College. Praying that she does over and above her own expectations. Peace and Blessings ☮🙏
Coming from a viewer I cried as well.🥺 Change is so hard but it will get better.seeing Hannah & Bella cry broke my heart.Hannah & Bella have such huge hearts and they love Ariana a ton.❤️🥰
The ending was perfect, you made it very understandable and relatable. Id also like to say that change is a necessary part of life, its hard, but it happens and alot of times its out of our control. Ari leaving helps your pieces learn to cope with these changes. It's a part of growth and im so happy everyone has your family to help them learn these necessary coping skills. You're ensuring when they get out into the world and change happens they'll understand whats happening and have better skills to deal with those changes. The puzzle is just getting more beautiful, the pieces still fit together perfectly.
I LOVE CRAZY PIECES to PIECES! I remember when my oldest daughter went to college in 1999, nearly broke my heart. Then my son went in 2002. Followed by my youngest daughter moving out the night she graduated from high school in 2004. Crystal all the children are growing up & out.
Congrats Ariana!! I'm actually also moving away for college in a little over a month, and I am both so scared and so excited. Good luck with everything Ariana we're all going through it together; I hope you have a great year!
I used to work in housekeeping , you take both hands and put them in the corners , make it to where it's like a rectangle then you like em up and fold it over and pretty much just fold the rest , you'll end up with a nice square it's surprisingly very easy ! 😇
Aww hoping the girls can still stay super close and find time to spend with each other when there is time. It sucks when siblings move out especially when you’re so close to them. I hope they can all adjust well to this change. It’ll only make your love and bond in even stronger in the end 💕
I understand. It's more than moving into a dorm. It is the start of them leaving their childhood and going into adulthood. Moving away from daily life with the family and the beginning of them starting their new lives with careers and starting their own new family. Not that they won't be family any longer, but with families and careers of their own, it just makes everything different. As old as I am I can remember moving into my dorm. I was excited about this new thing, but when my mom left I felt a little scared of all the new things to come. There was no one there that knew me or had my back and it was scary and exciting at once. You did a good job with Ariana and she will be fine. You all will adjust and find new ways to connect and share. Good luck to Ariana and all of you going forward.
Congratulations Arianna. 🥳 🎉 You are going to do amazing things. Remember to find balance. Balance within yourself, with school, fun, family and all the other great things life has to offer. Never buckle under any form of pressure. Peer pressure can be brutal but you have a strong set of morals and values, stand TRUE to yourself. While your studies are IMPORTANT as long as you are trying your hardest/best don't let grades rule your emotions. Many people feel so much pressure from other to succeed that it can crumble when grades don't meet expectations. I know you will do well. But if not, don't let it drag your self worth or esteem down. It's sad to say but many student have been pushed to far over grades.
this is so cute 🥺 my advice is take the calendar section (with assignment dates) out of your syllabi, and put all the dates in your planner, and make a checklist of every assignment laid out on the syllabus for every class. that way you can check everything off as you go and do assignments a few weeks early if you have time.
It’s a huge change, specially for a close family, so don’t listen to those people that are like “it’s not a big deal” cause it is for some people🙄. I cried for a week when my sister moved out of the house, LIKE JUST TO ANOTHER HOUSE 10 mins away from me. It’s a change, it changes the family dynamics because you can’t be everyday together the same way you would have before, it may also strengthen your bond. Like so many things happen
To fold fitted sheets. Start by tucking a corner into one another then lay on flat surface and fold over the parts of the top and side where you tucked in the corners. It should make straight lines. Then just fold. It will come out with four straight sides.
Omg I’m currently bawling my eyes out, so proud of you Ariana! I’ve been watching for a few years and it’s so crazy how fast time goes! A piece of advice is take college serious, but also have fun! I regret not trying in college and not finishing, but plan to return soon. So stay focused on school, but these are really the most fun years of your life as well! ❤️
Ok, I cried at the end as usual when someone moves out. I love how close Bella has become to her sisters and it showed when she was saying goodbye to Ariana. Praying for Hannah, especially as she deals with another change in her family. She is strong and will be fine, but she does seem sad and quiet at times. I know that you will all be there for her, surrounding her with love and support. Good luck to Ariana! We are all so proud of you. You've got this!!!
I’m so glad Arianna is going to college to do something she loves. I hope you’re all holding up okay, I know it must be hard seeing her leave but she’ll have the best time
So proud and excited for you Ariana!! I know you are going to do great things at college!! Crystal I'm a mom so I know how your feeling, no need to explain why you will miss her while she is away at college!
Your a mother that loves her children so much it's a puzzle peice that's missing and it will be hard . She will do great in collage . I remember when my daughter went to college she was 5 hours away I worried so much . But than she went farther to collage that was 8 hours that was hard but when she graduated made me one proud mother !!!
I feel ya mama, I literally cried from start to finish my eldest is 18 and I dread the day he moves out. I have a lot of siblings so to see Hannah and Bella so upset it truly breaks my heart and as a mom you know they are safe and are doing great and your super proud its really hard to let go and let them make their own choices but you guys are such wonderful parents and all your kids are amazing people because of you. In fact I've heard you say a few times to some of the older teens to make good choices and as my own 18yr old goes out with friends to parties and even just to work I've found my self saying to him I love you make good choices and ring me anytime if you need anything or find yourself in a situation you don't want to be in. I love you guys, your great, and know you have prepared Ariana for anything that comes her way and for the things she's not prepared for she will ring you. ❤️
Ughhh!! This video made me cry!! 💕 I always feel so much love watching yall videos and I absolutely love them. Love yall. My best and my favorite TH-cam family. Thank you for always sharing your adventures with us.
I hope Hannah and Bella are ok. Congratulations Ariana, u got this girl and Stay strong throw the hard times and all ways know your mom and dad are there for u no matter what!!!!
Oh Crystal, I feel every emotion you are feeling and bawled my way through this entire video! She is going to spread her wings but she will always fly back to you no matter what. My baby girl is going to college in a month and then it’s an empty nest for me. My heart aches but I’m equally so proud and excited for my girls. You know you’ve done a great job if they can go and be their independent self. I will be watching closely this school year. I’ll definitely have some more time on my hands. Blessing to Ariana, I too will miss her personality on your channel each time. You can be sad for YOU momma and at the same time happy for her. Hugs to all the Crazy Pieces. Hold each other a little tighter these next few days. Love to all. From another college mom 💔 Lisa
Just seeing Hannah crying and shaking in the intro already got me crying, I’m so proud of Ariana, she’s such an amazing, beautiful, independent women. Love to you all💖
My biggest advice to Ariana as a senior for my bachelor's, take advantage of EVERYTHING the school has to offer. Email professors and TAs if u have questions, go to their office hours, get tutoring if the school has it especially if they have special study sessions for exams, go to advisor drop in hours, if yur struggling emotionally/mentally see if yur school has campus therapists. Utilize everything.
Second this. Very sound advice! To Ariana: You can even go to tutors to keep you on track and stay focused. It doesn’t have to be because you’re falling behind. And also therapy. It doesn’t have to be dire. Go if you need to talk or process. Just find your way and stay organized. Best of luck! And congratulations.
Such a great advice
Absolutely the best advice...
Don’t let anyone tell you your over reacting to your child moving out and to college it’s a major event in your families lives. No one gets to tell you how to process that! You’re fine with your emotions and your feelings are valid! You can be happy for her and sad for your household. It’s an adjustment for everyone in your home as well as her.
I cried for an entire month when my daughter went to college. It was horrible.
Allie B, I couldn't agree with you more!!! My daughter moved four hours away and I was devastated. No one should be telling anyone how to handle these events in life.
Ariana, just remember to be true to whom you are. Always ask yourself this. Will this promote whom I want to be? Will this hurt myself or others? Do I really need those munchies at 3 am? Lol.
You are going to have sooo much fun.
Oh, one more thing:. Call your Mom!!!
@@mom2kas I’m shocked people think it’s not ok to be sad your child has moved out it’s a big change!
@@Donna-qt1ot 9
@@teresacastillo2500 , is that how far your kiddo moved away from you? If so, I am so, so sorry.
I really saw the pain in Hannah’s eyes and just her body language. She was shaking. I hope she’s doing okay now that more of the older kids are moving out and things are changing. I hope the best for her I know you guys are there for her and will comfort her. Sending the best wishes!
I was thinking poor Hannah because first Hallie now Arianna, they were so close.
“I hope the best for her”. “I know you guys are there for her and will comfort her”. Including Bella I saw pain in Bella’s eyes too.
You and Aaron have given these kids the chance at full filling their dreams which they might not have had if they had stayed in toxic environments ... You have given them that unconditional love and support. May god continue to bless you and yours. ❤
Oh man, seeing Hannah cry always gets me :( Her heart is so big and you can tell she takes it the hardest when someone moves out or a big change happens, you can always see the amount of pain she's in through her eyes, body language and vulnerability. She's been through so much and I really hope she's doing alright with all these changes, I've noticed she's been more quiet for awhile. But I know she's so strong and has an amazing support system surrounding her
I am so proud of Ariana. The woman she had become. The example she set out to everyone. My advice NEVER give up, stay safe, and always ask mom and dad for advice if no one else can. Keep looking at the future and reaching for the stars as you will make it. Hugs and good luck. Love you guys.😭😭❤️💜🧡
Yes❤🥰
I feel so sad for Bella. She was the closest to Halie and then Halie moved out and now she was the closest to Ariana and she just moved out. I loved seeing the sisters accompanying Ariana ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You got this lil' Ari! Much love to you all!
Was looking fo this comment, I hope bella's doing ok
I literally cried 😭 Ariana is one of the kids here that I really admire. Her siblings obviously loved her a lot and she made an impact to them. Hoping for a safe and wonderful college life to Ari 🤍
Omg. This episode got me. I love the relationship the kids have with each other. And when Hannah and Bella started crying it got me the most. Growing up in the foster care system you always hope to have relationships with your own siblings like your kids have each other. I love how your kids really love and care for each other. Good luck Ariana in college. Enjoy the experience and meeting new people. I didn’t want to go college right at 18 but I got my BSW and MSW later in life. But now I have my MSW and working for cps working with foster parents and training them to be better foster parents
I have my MSSW as well and have worked in CPS and foster care Mos of my career.
@@nodaknorskie1486 that’s awesome. I also want to open up my own girls program because I used to work in girls group home and working there got me thinking about it and now working for the county I want to do it a little more every day.
@@melindahunt4948 I hope it goes well for you. I supervised 5 group homes. The boy's homes were way easier to deal with. But it was fun I mean only someone who does what you and I have done would say that probably..lol.
@@daisystar25970 right that comment makes no sense
Word of advice from someone who just finished their freshman year. It’s very easy to get distracted with friends and going out, especially not having you parents to constantly check and ensure you are staying on track with school. It can be hard to balance your school work with your social life but you got it!!!❤️Can’t wait to hear about your first year:)
That’s great advice 👌
Don’t let anyone tell you this isn’t a big deal! It is! You’ll see her, but your everyday dynamic has changed. I FEEL ALL OF THIS!!!! My daughter is an officer in the Army and she’s out in the world too after college - it’s so hard! You are so right - it feels bipolar….so extremely PROUD and so extremely heartbroken for the change all at the same time!! HUGS TO YOU ALL and good luck to your sweet girl! ♥️
Good luck to your sweet girl!
She didn’t say bipolar
She didn’t!! I DID! The feeling of being so proud and so heartbroken at the same time makes you feel so crazy because how can you be both at the same time? That’s what I was saying.
I just cried like a baby through the last half of this video. You guys are so supportive of each other and encouraging. The minute you guys were hugging Ariana, I lost it! Ive been watching you guys for the last 2 years at least. I am so proud of Ariana, and every kid. Good Luck in College Ariana. you are amazing, and beautiful.
Bella at the end. OMG it broke my heart to see her so sad!
My eyes are definitely not dry. The love that everyone has for each other in your family is amazing. I totally understand her being gone.
Give bella and hannah extra loves and cuddles to help them cope with her being gone. They will hopefully get to talk to her every night and still be able to keep that close bond. Congratulations Ariana you have this and make your family proud
my heart breaks everytime a kid moves out. it’s the cycle of life but it never gets easier. it’s been so amazing to be able to see them grow up and be part of their journey. i am so happy for Ariana, she has such a great character and will continue to make you guys proud. sending hugs and hoping as the days go by that the younger kids feel better ❤️🩹
This actually hits too close to home, because this August I am also moving out to college to pursue my master's in a different city... literally 8 hours drive away from home. I started crying the moment I clicked on this video... kuddos to us both, Ariana :")
good luck !
Good luck in college
Wishing you all the best as you start this exciting new chapter!
Congrats wishing u great luck
Jus as long as u have good family God n awesome friends u will be fine but yes Congrats go u also 💕
I cried when Hanna, Halie, and bella say there good byes. Congratulations ariana on your new chapter in college life.
Oh my gosh! This took me back to the day we took our son to college. I remember walking away from that dorm and leaving him there was a feeling I can’t even describe. Today he is a Pastor with a wonderful wife and four amazing sons. He was the first to make me a mom and I am so very proud of him and the Godly man he has become. Those first steps of his leaving home were so hard to watch but the life he has built for him and his family is built on that foundation. May God Bless you and keep you and may you know His peace.
Watching your kids spread their wings is so hard yet rewarding all at the same time. She will do great things in life. Stay strong mom and dad.
I have cried for 34:11 Arianna no matter how overwhelming college can be, just push through it. Think of what your outcome will be when you finish. Your family are always by your side. Call them, message them, FaceTime them. Speak of them to your new friends. You have grown up in front of alot of us viewers, & speaking for myself, you can do this.
Enjoy your experiences & you will look back on this time of your life & say to yourself "I'm a college graduate". Best of Luck 👩🎓
College was difficult for me in the beginning then later was ok.
I did as well 🥺 been watching them for 3 years now
I was crying too.
Alex was spot on with his advice. It’s good to always keep a good side with your enemies. That way you’ll always know what they are up to. I live by that advice too!
So excited for Ariana! Huge new season for her! We are all rooting for her! ❤️❤️
so excited for her.
You never have to explain the love you have for your children. I was adopted at 3 weeks old. It will be 3 yrs in Sept since I lost my momma and we were super close. I do not think most people understand how hard it is and may think it's too much how much I miss my momma, but I do not care, because the love of a mother and a daughter can not be matched.
You guys are terrific parents and family. I wish Ariana all the best.
Good luck Ariana!!! YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!! I know how hard this must be, but know that your family will ALWAYS be here for you, and you are so loved, special, smart, and talented ❤❤❤
I'm sheading tears as this brings back so many memories. Back when I took my oldest to college gas was $1.19/9
I feel you, Crystal, it hurts your heart when you have had a child daily, and all of a sudden they are no longer there everyday, but take comfort in the fact that you raised some awesome kids, and when they are ready to leave the nest, it is because you and AAron have given them the love that they needed and the confidence that they can make it in this crazy world. Job well done to both of you
This broke me because I finally see what my Mum went through when I went off to university. I wasn't quite as close, but she had to leave me in a new city three hours away with a broken door. My landlords were lovely btw, but Mum barely made it up the road before bawling and bawled when she got home too. I know she was proud of me for moving and going to university, but also seeing everyone so upset, I can see how much of struggle it was for Mum and everyone back home too. I hope Ariana has the best time ever at college!
I feel for all the girls. They are so close and one being an hour away has to hurt. I sit here with tears because i wish i had that kind of bond when i was growing up. What a special family!! God bless!!!
As much as I cried throughout this video, I am still so happy and hopeful about the future for Ariana. I did notice how difficult it is for Hannah and Bella to say goodbye. I'm sure with the many losses they have suffered in their lives, this one is very difficult to bear. The wonderful thing is that this is a lifelong, lasting bond and there will be many hugs and laughter, and experiences to share in the future. I love you all!💗💗💗💗💗💗
So proud of you Ari, crying for someone you haven’t met is just how close you make us all feel to your family!! Balling over here and my kids are like momma why are you crying, all I can say is don’t grow up!!
Don’t EVER let anyone tell you how to feel! When a child grows up and leaves home they take a piece of your heart and we all deal with that in our own way. Sending love and good thoughts. God bless!
I didn’t leave for college until I was 20. It was only 1.5 hours away. It’s been almost 20 years and I can still remember how hard it was to watch my family (mom, dad and grandparents) drive away. My first year was REALLY hard. I’m sitting here in isolation because of a known exposure and all I want to do is go hug my Gramma. Change isn’t always easy, and it’s different for everyone. I hope that Ariana has an amazing year! ❤️
My son is finishing up his first year of college 450-500 miles away and only saw him 5 days this year . Picking him up next week for his 3 week summer break. Sounds bad but the best thing for her is to stay and not come home as much so she can grow as an individual (esp with that large family) and can grow close with friends and experience college. It’s been wonderful for my sons personal growth.
I feel like Ariana, Hannah & Bella are such an iconic trio - my heart hurts for the three of them right now ): ❤️ sending so much love & positive energy to each and every one of you
Hearing you speak of the dynamic change is so true. You’re mourning the loss/change of what will never be the same, while being proud and excited for what’s to come for HER. It’s a difficult transition but one that you’ve prepared her for and we’re all proud of the new roads Ariana is taking for her future. Good luck girl! Don’t get toooo caught up in the fun. Always remember WHY you’re there and WHAT you want to accomplish in your time there. Sometimes, saying No is the right answer for a better tomorrow/future.
I'm not cring your crying ... my heart breaks for Halie, Hannah and Bella..I'm sure is super hard to feel like a loss especially for Bella when she just formed this incredible bond! Everytime a child moves on past our home it's a statement about how great they were raised. We raise our kids to be these incredible humans but it's hard to let them go when they get there. Love to all of you!! Congrats Ariana. Study hard, enjoy cheer, make friends and continue being the incredible young woman you have become!!
Search for desk shelves for dorms! They have these modular units that sit on top of the desk helping to maximize the space! So glad the moving crew got to go - I know they are so proud of their sister! ♥️
This was emotional!!! Didn’t think I’d cry…. But it’s so sweet. Arianna is such a large personality and such a bright light. I’m sure her not being there will be hard. She’s forging a new path and it’s a gift. Be kind to yourselves as u miss her. She’s accomplished so much. Big hugs and best wishes to her!
I was holding back tears the entire time!! I totally understand what you mean that even though she’s only an hour away it still changes the dynamic of your family with her not there. For the first few times she comes home and leaves again you may have those same feelings but the more she comes back and forth the easier it will get. Hugs to all of you 💜
Oh Mama, you have so many more of these proud and wonderful and sad moments ahead of you. The love is real!
I have been with you all since the beginning a Crazy Pieces, Everytime one of your kids accomplishes something, I feel like a proud Aunt, I laugh with you guys, I cry with you guys and I get excited with you guys, you all are really like an extended family to me♥️
I cry every time i watch this vlog. But it hits me every time when you guys are saying goodby and Bella Hugs ariana for the "Last time" before leaving the dorm.
Thats the feeling of every mother. But you should always know whaty mom said"The Universe will kick you out of your nest so you can fly. But you always comes back to the nest finally". So its ok to cry but ariana will always come to the nest eventually.If possible just send this qoute to ariana that my mother said"Whenever You Find Yourself Doubting How Far You Can Go, Just Remember How Far You Have Come. Remember Everything You Have Faced, All The Battles You Have Won, And All The Fears You Have Overcome."
Hannah crying made me cry, honestly all the bonds of your family is so lush, and you all looked so sad, honestly I love you guys
I have been following your family for years! Through the good and the bad. I am so proud to see everyone grow up. Ariana is becoming (has always been) an amazing, smart woman! Keep up the great work!!
Crystal I know u have probably heard this a million times but I think u are the best mum,so nurturing and sweet.
Hannah always takes it the hardest ❤️😥 I love her bond with her siblings
My heart is breaking for all of you. Roots and wings! While you and Aaron have given Ariana roots with your beloved family, you have also given her strong wings. Because of your love, she can fly. I felt the same way when each of my children left for college. It changes everything at home. ❤️
Congratulations Ariana!! I'm so proud of you for chasing your dreams! Enjoy every minute of living in the dorms and enjoying college life! Crystal, it is completely normal for you to be upset and cry because your little girl is moving to college. I cried watching the video and she's not my child. Hang in there and just hug the other kids extra tight and enjoy the time she comes home! Just love you guys!
Congratulations Ariana!!
“I’m so proud of you for chasing your dreams!” “Enjoy every minute and enjoying college life!”
@@juliamclane8319 do you have a problem with correcting everyone’s stuff your on most of the comments correcting things to your liking as if we are students and your our teacher correcting how we type things 🤦♀️
I was crying as I watched this video I know the bond that you are feeling after bonding and getting to know each other after a while
Congrats Ariana! Advice from a college graduate- don’t get so swept up in your social life that you forget what’s most important- your studies and finding your career path. I’m 29 and I still haven’t found it because I spent all my time partying and having too much fun. Stay focused girl! 💕
Now I’m crying 😭
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself, of course you’d be upset, your child will no longer be with you every single day. That’s a major change.
Ariana will do great things.
I’m sure you’ll see her once a week or at least once a fortnight. X
Such a loving family. Ariana is so blessed to have a wonderful family like yours. Crystal, Hannah, and Bella are so close to Ariana. I couldn't stop crying watching you all. Thanks to Crystal and Aaron for creating such a loving and supportive environment for your children. Ariana will be free to grow and flourish because she has a loving family
Oh how this brought back memories of moving my one and only child, my son ,off to college! I was so happy and proud of him. Excited for his new adventure in life, but so broken hearted as my Husband and I pulled away from his dorm. Going home and sitting in his room crying my eyes out because I already missed him so much. But 23 years later a man stands before me with his college degree and Masters . He has been teaching music for 19 years. He's an amazing Husband, Father ,Son, friend and teacher to so many who have learned from him. My heart goes out to you Chrystal!! I'm proud of you Ariana !! Good luck !!
this video opened my eyes to how it must’ve felt when i moved away from home the first couple times. the way that my mom described the feeling when i left for a few months to do the disney college program twice (i was 13 hours away from home), was the house feels so quiet and almost off balance. im one of 4 kids and even though they were talking and doing their daily routines, not having that one person it just feels so empty. my brothers were so torn with me leaving as well, and when i moved back, it was amazing.
i didn’t understand what she meant until two of my brothers moved out, leaving one of my brothers and i here at home. they live 10-15 minutes away from us and visit all the time, but it feels so empty and im bored all of the time now that they aren’t here and it’s just my brother and i.
You do t have to explain yourself at all! As a mom I feel you deep in my heart. I wish I could hug all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching this made re-experience the emotions from when I moved out. It hurts us (kids) too. It finally hits that home won't be the same as it used to be even when visiting. You'll start seeing the changes of getting older in not only yourself, but with your family/parents.
Not me crying listening to all the kids saying goodbye and giving advice!! I hope you all truly cherish the bond and sibling love y'all have
So proud of you Ariana sad moment but you got this your beautiful family will always be there for you it’s a new journey wishing you the best
I have felt the same way each time my children moved out. We have 6 and down to 2. Its heart breaking each time to let our babies go. Your a loving Mom. ❤️ No shame in love!
Have the best time Arianna xxx I do know how you feel Crystal...I'm crying with you and remembering that feeling of leaving my son. I felt like the light had gone out of my life...even though he came home the first weekend with his washing lol loving and letting go...the two hardest parts of loving your child ❤️
Big hugs Hallie, Hannah and Bella xxx not forgetting dad being strong in the background xxx
Best of luck Arianna! And to the rest of the siblings, change can be hard. But you have phones, computers, social media, and will be able to talk and connect! You got this!!
Congratulations I know you must be so very proud! I usually cry with all of you because your family touches a lot of people. But this time I cried with you for a different reason. I lost my oldest daughter almost 3 weeks ago. Those memories that are so important to you... keep making them. Good luck Arianna I wish you the best!! And thank you all for sharing your family.
The bond you have with your children and the bond the siblings have is so amazing and it shines so much in this video. It will be a big void with out Ariana not been there all the time. I Understand how your Mama heart is breaking Crystal the love you and Aaron have for all your children is unique because each and everyone has their own special story. This video had me sobbing. Ariana is going to make so many memories. She is an amazing young lady.
The emotions truly show how much ya'll love each other! Congratulations Ari!!! We are SO proud of you! We love ya'll!!
Crystal you be sad. One of your birds are spreading their wings and bettering herself. So proud of Ariana for going for her dreams! Good luck in college and in cheer!
I'm impressed all her stuff fit in her room. I can't wait to see the room tour on her channel!
Just wondering if the other girls have any room for their stuff...lol. I hope they all don't have to bring mini fridges.
@@sarahp8124 I only saw two as well...hoping the third was there somewhere.
I cried! She is definitely gonna be missed in every day videos. This will be a very good fun adventure. Congratulations Ariana on your new adventure🤍
She is going to do amazing at college. It's so wonderful to see the great support you both provide for your children. I totally get what you're saying about her leaving. Another thing may be that you see she is starting her life separate from home. Like she's out in the world.
Folding a fitted sheet is EASY. Take all the rounded corners, truck them inside each other. Lay it down on the bed, make it rectangular. Finish the fold. Makes a nice little package. EASY!
Even though you know they’re coming home for holidays and weekends it’s still hard to not seeing them everyday like you’re used to. Sending hugs and Ariana you got this!!!
i was crying so much bc Ariana is the sweetest soul she's so kind, funny, humble, and beautiful she looks so fun to hang out w and were gonna miss her so much i hope she has fun and college doesn't stress her out a lot hope she has fun and does what she dreams of doing. so proud of her!
Hannah seems really sad and distant and I hope she will be okay 👍. Arianna we are going to miss you and your bright cheery smile and laughter. I know that you will do great things and it's going to be hard at first being away from your family, but yo will get through it. You are going to take on the whole world with new adventures and anew chapter. I wish you the very best of luck.
Change is hard but a part of life. I know Ariana not being there is difficult for everyone. You can be proud but miss her terribly. The family dynamic has changed and one of the puzzle pieces is missing. Give them time to readjust. Ariana, give yourself time too. You have done a very hard thing and your emotions are gonna kick in. Let them. Tears can be healing. Congratulations Ariana. We are all praying and rooting for you in this new chapter in your life.
I definitely understand how you all are feeling about Arianna leaving for College. Praying that she does over and above her own expectations. Peace and Blessings ☮🙏
Coming from a viewer I cried as well.🥺 Change is so hard but it will get better.seeing Hannah & Bella cry broke my heart.Hannah & Bella have such huge hearts and they love Ariana a ton.❤️🥰
Saying goodbye is never easy. I hope you have an amazing time in college, I know it’s gonna be scary but you got this girl! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh crap, I’m totally crying with you .Hugs to all of you. You’re not overreacting. It’s definitely a bittersweet moment.
The ending was perfect, you made it very understandable and relatable. Id also like to say that change is a necessary part of life, its hard, but it happens and alot of times its out of our control. Ari leaving helps your pieces learn to cope with these changes. It's a part of growth and im so happy everyone has your family to help them learn these necessary coping skills. You're ensuring when they get out into the world and change happens they'll understand whats happening and have better skills to deal with those changes. The puzzle is just getting more beautiful, the pieces still fit together perfectly.
I LOVE CRAZY PIECES to PIECES! I remember when my oldest daughter went to college in 1999, nearly broke my heart. Then my son went in 2002. Followed by my youngest daughter moving out the night she graduated from high school in 2004.
Crystal all the children are growing up & out.
Congrats Ariana!! I'm actually also moving away for college in a little over a month, and I am both so scared and so excited. Good luck with everything Ariana we're all going through it together; I hope you have a great year!
I used to work in housekeeping , you take both hands and put them in the corners , make it to where it's like a rectangle then you like em up and fold it over and pretty much just fold the rest , you'll end up with a nice square it's surprisingly very easy ! 😇
Aww hoping the girls can still stay super close and find time to spend with each other when there is time. It sucks when siblings move out especially when you’re so close to them. I hope they can all adjust well to this change. It’ll only make your love and bond in even stronger in the end 💕
I understand. It's more than moving into a dorm. It is the start of them leaving their childhood and going into adulthood. Moving away from daily life with the family and the beginning of them starting their new lives with careers and starting their own new family. Not that they won't be family any longer, but with families and careers of their own, it just makes everything different. As old as I am I can remember moving into my dorm. I was excited about this new thing, but when my mom left I felt a little scared of all the new things to come. There was no one there that knew me or had my back and it was scary and exciting at once. You did a good job with Ariana and she will be fine. You all will adjust and find new ways to connect and share. Good luck to Ariana and all of you going forward.
Congratulations Arianna. 🥳 🎉 You are going to do amazing things. Remember to find balance. Balance within yourself, with school, fun, family and all the other great things life has to offer. Never buckle under any form of pressure. Peer pressure can be brutal but you have a strong set of morals and values, stand TRUE to yourself. While your studies are IMPORTANT as long as you are trying your hardest/best don't let grades rule your emotions. Many people feel so much pressure from other to succeed that it can crumble when grades don't meet expectations. I know you will do well. But if not, don't let it drag your self worth or esteem down. It's sad to say but many student have been pushed to far over grades.
I think it’s so precious how all the kids just adore each other. Y’all always make me cry with these heartfelt full of love videos. ♥️
this is so cute 🥺 my advice is take the calendar section (with assignment dates) out of your syllabi, and put all the dates in your planner, and make a checklist of every assignment laid out on the syllabus for every class. that way you can check everything off as you go and do assignments a few weeks early if you have time.
It’s a huge change, specially for a close family, so don’t listen to those people that are like “it’s not a big deal” cause it is for some people🙄. I cried for a week when my sister moved out of the house, LIKE JUST TO ANOTHER HOUSE 10 mins away from me. It’s a change, it changes the family dynamics because you can’t be everyday together the same way you would have before, it may also strengthen your bond. Like so many things happen
So proud of Ariana. She will do good in school. Having all her support from her family is so great. Mom and dad you did a great job in raising her❤️
To fold fitted sheets. Start by tucking a corner into one another then lay on flat surface and fold over the parts of the top and side where you tucked in the corners. It should make straight lines. Then just fold. It will come out with four straight sides.
Omg I’m currently bawling my eyes out, so proud of you Ariana! I’ve been watching for a few years and it’s so crazy how fast time goes! A piece of advice is take college serious, but also have fun! I regret not trying in college and not finishing, but plan to return soon. So stay focused on school, but these are really the most fun years of your life as well! ❤️
Ok, I cried at the end as usual when someone moves out. I love how close Bella has become to her sisters and it showed when she was saying goodbye to Ariana. Praying for Hannah, especially as she deals with another change in her family. She is strong and will be fine, but she does seem sad and quiet at times. I know that you will all be there for her, surrounding her with love and support. Good luck to Ariana! We are all so proud of you. You've got this!!!
I’m so glad Arianna is going to college to do something she loves. I hope you’re all holding up okay, I know it must be hard seeing her leave but she’ll have the best time
I’m so happy for Ariana. I’m crying with your family because I know you all are so close and will miss her dearly. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
So proud and excited for you Ariana!! I know you are going to do great things at college!! Crystal I'm a mom so I know how your feeling, no need to explain why you will miss her while she is away at college!
Your a mother that loves her children so much it's a puzzle peice that's missing and it will be hard . She will do great in collage . I remember when my daughter went to college she was 5 hours away I worried so much . But than she went farther to collage that was 8 hours that was hard but when she graduated made me one proud mother !!!
I feel ya mama, I literally cried from start to finish my eldest is 18 and I dread the day he moves out. I have a lot of siblings so to see Hannah and Bella so upset it truly breaks my heart and as a mom you know they are safe and are doing great and your super proud its really hard to let go and let them make their own choices but you guys are such wonderful parents and all your kids are amazing people because of you. In fact I've heard you say a few times to some of the older teens to make good choices and as my own 18yr old goes out with friends to parties and even just to work I've found my self saying to him I love you make good choices and ring me anytime if you need anything or find yourself in a situation you don't want to be in. I love you guys, your great, and know you have prepared Ariana for anything that comes her way and for the things she's not prepared for she will ring you. ❤️
Ughhh!! This video made me cry!! 💕 I always feel so much love watching yall videos and I absolutely love them. Love yall. My best and my favorite TH-cam family. Thank you for always sharing your adventures with us.
I hope Hannah and Bella are ok.
Congratulations Ariana, u got this girl and Stay strong throw the hard times and all ways know your mom and dad are there for u no matter what!!!!
Oh Crystal, I feel every emotion you are feeling and bawled my way through this entire video! She is going to spread her wings but she will always fly back to you no matter what. My baby girl is going to college in a month and then it’s an empty nest for me. My heart aches but I’m equally so proud and excited for my girls. You know you’ve done a great job if they can go and be their independent self. I will be watching closely this school year. I’ll definitely have some more time on my hands. Blessing to Ariana, I too will miss her personality on your channel each time. You can be sad for YOU momma and at the same time happy for her. Hugs to all the Crazy Pieces. Hold each other a little tighter these next few days. Love to all.
From another college mom 💔
Lisa
