"We spent a lot of time with the family, the four of us, and about two and a half weeks ago, dropped my daughter Lucie off of college, which was a moment,"
"Back home on Monday morning after our first college move-in, I won't share her dorm room pics (it's great!). But, I do want to share a big thank you to those who've been on this emotional ride,"
"As we walked away from campus and flew back home, we were proud, we were emotional, we were of course weepy. But, I just can't call it sadness. I was honestly so surprised at myself. It was - I guess I'd call it - peace,"
"It was sad in the moment when we said goodbye, but because she is so happy, and we realize she is so ready," Willie said to Jenna Bush Hager, "you realize all that you poured into this person for 18 years is now paying off, and she can handle herself, and she's happy and she's good."
The family anticipated college move-in for months before dropping daughter Lucie off at college. The transition proved better than expected, with Lucie adjusting and moving forward into her new chapter. An Instagram post expressed gratitude to those who supported the family and described mixed emotions that ultimately felt like peace rather than sadness. A remembered piece of advice noted that a child who does not look back when leaving for college reflects successful parenting. The household also includes a 15-year-old son, George, and plans are needed to recalibrate home life as mostly a family of three.
