"Today is a very emotional day..." Shannon wrote on Instagram back in August when she jetted off to New York City to drop one of her twins, Adeline Beador, off at school. "I am so excited to watch my girls move on to the next chapter of their lives but I am definitely going to be shedding a lot of tears in the next week!"

Though Shannon was "incredibly sad" but "so proud" about sending her three daughters away to college at the same time for the first time, on October 18, one of her girls just returned to the nest for a brief visit. The RHOC cast member gushed all about it on Instagram.

"So grateful to have [Sophie Beador] pop in for a much-needed visit…" she shared in the caption of the post, which featured a selfie of the blonde mother-daughter duo.

Shannon Storms Beador Shares a Life Update

Just a few days before Sophie returned home for a brief but "much-needed" visit, Shannon posted an update on how she's been doing lately. 

"I know it's been a while since I posted, and there's been a lot of talk about what happened recently," she said in a video she shared on Instagram. "But unfortunately right now, I'm not in the position to comment."

However, she noted, "there will be a time when I can. And I intend to be open, honest, and authentic."

Until then, she's "focusing on getting healthy, getting back to [herself]." She's also spending some time with her dog, as she noted she'll also be "walking Archie" in the meantime.
