- Quotes
Simon: She's going to be the hardest to leave and the hardest to hang on to because she's Ruthie and she's 13 and she's got a boyfriend. And while she understands that I want to leave the rest of the family, she doesn't understand how I can leave her but I don't think she'll hold it against me, she won't have the time to hold it against me. She's emerging from childhood to adulthood full speed ahead with thoughtful intelligence, a great sense of humor, and a high self esteem. I'd like to think I had something to do with how great she's turned out so far and I hope to remain a positive influence in her life, but here's the thing - I know she feels my pain, we're that close. And as hard as it is, I really do think it's best to put a little distance between us right now because I would never forgive myself if I put any rain on Ruthie's parade, and truthfully I know she will be just fine without me.

Simon, as the description states, is headed for college which is the reason for this episode. If you have not seen the family from beginning to end and you want to jump into the show at this point, DON'T miss this particular episode; it is excellent.
I have always had a special place in my heart for "Simon Camden". He can make me laugh, cry, think and smile at everything he does. In the past couple of seasons he has really grown up and I've always felt like he was my son from the start. (Attention readers and cast: No I am not stalking him; I'm just a big fan.) I want to thank the cast, crew and their families for making this series possible. The children in front of the camera gave me the best of their growing up years for my entertainment and I will always be grateful.
