You are SOOOO right, Betsi!!! Gosh that would be so hard. I have a friend whose daughter and g-daughters are in Switzerland. She sees them once a year!

Here's a hug Gayle

I'm so glad it's not any further than that and what a great opportunity for you SIL. I know you'll be fine...you're such a strong woman.

Aww, I'm sorry Gayle. It's sad when families have to live apart. I moved to Pittsburgh right after high school--500 miles away from all family and friends (other than Brendon). It was really hard and I ended up moving back home 5 months later. At least your kids will be a lot closer than that and you can see them on weekends anytime you want. Do you guys have the same phone company so you can have free mobile to mobile? That really helps.

I'm sorry you're sad. *hugs*

It is sad when you're used to them being right close by. When my daughter moved from Brooklyn to Staten Island (a 1/2 hour away), I was so upset.

You'll get used to it. 2 hours isn't too bad., You guys travel a lot, so driving doesn't seem to phase you.

Sending you a hug

Gayle, sorry you are sad, it's hard when you have been use to having them near.

Gayle, do you have other ties in Austin? Come on down to Houston with them. You know you'd find a job here.

I know exactly how you feel. Jeff and Emily took my Abby and Sarah up to Nacogdoches and I'm still struggling with having them a couple hours away and seeing them about once a month.

Awww, Gayle, I'm so sorry this is happening. It's tough having them so far away. As you know mine are in Austin and San Antonio and I'm stuck here 1.5 to 2 hrs away. Hopefully it will be later in the year so you will have a little more time to adjust to the idea before they actually move. (((((((((((Gayle))))))))))))
