When our children make their first BIG decision and it is the opposite of what we want, we get angry. Then we are not quite sure how to turn it around without looking weak, so you stay angry until we can find a way to save face. I totally agree with Senusret. Don't just tell her, but keep showing what a positive influence it has had on you. Maybe you can get a couple of your line brothers to write a letter to her telling her what a great guy you are and how they appreciate her for that.

And don't forget, she is probably still grieving you being away from her. It took me until my daughter's second semester sophomore year, before I stopped grieving her absence.
