"Trust me, it's gonna be weird for me because I have said I am going I'm already starting to cry. I am going to be an absolute disaster," she said of Grayson. "It's gonna be terrible. Like, I will probably just show up and just I'll come do your laundry. We'll go get lunch. We'll do something because I just can't. ... And so any parents that have had kids go off to college, like, please message me. Tell me how you got through it. Give me tips."
Savannah expressed a range of emotions on her Instagram Stories earlier this week. “Why did no one prepare for for how hard this is going to be?😭” she said in a now expired snap. ”Taking Gray to college on Sunday and I’m a wreck. My best friend ... 😭. I’m so excited for him to go and make a life for himself … but boy is my heart breaking…”

Savannah Chrisley's Instagram Stories post“Packing the little things,” she said in another post, which showed a picture of a jar full of color-coded Bible verses. There also appears to be a hand-written note on stationery that says “Team Chrisley.” On it is a Bible verse from Matthew 6:43 that reads: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
In May 2024, Savannah also shared a touching message for Grayson on his 18th birthday, writing: "I am so proud of you and the young man that you are becoming @graysonchrisley ❤️."
