"They fly by way too fast! My youngest son who is 20 just moved from here in upstate New York to Tennessee," added another.
Al is incredibly proud of Nick and shared on Instagram the moment he found out he had been accepted to college. The 30-second clip showed Nick wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a vaccinated sign, he smiled and admitted he was excited at the news as his mom hugged him and dad congratulated him too.
Nick and Al are super close
The couple haven't revealed where Nick is hoping to go to college but they will be spending the next few weeks cherishing every moment they have with him before he heads off on his adventure away from home.
The news is made even more special since Nick, who is the youngest of Al's three children, is "somewhere on the (autism) spectrum and maybe obsessive-compulsive," the TV star previously told Guideposts magazine.
At the time Al added: "But those labels can be frustrating; they don't begin to describe who Nick really is."
