Unhappy Our kids are probably going to have to move

We've known for a while now that daughter, sil, and two granddaughters were probably going to have to move to San Antonio or Houston (they/we live in Austin). Well today, sil found out that it will be Houston and could be in 2 months and at the very latest, by the end of the year. SIGH! He will be getting a big promotion with his company - a good company that has been VERY good to him. That part is really good!!!

I knew it was coming and I'm OK, it's just that I've been so lucky to have them all here with me.

They will most likely be living in north Houston (or north of Houston) so the drive to and from Houston/Austin will not be that bad ~2 hours or so. It will be OK, it's just sad tonight!

I am sorry you are sad about your daughter & sil having to move. it would be hard for anyone to turn down such a good offer with the way the economy is right now.

I'm sorry your kids are moving. It will be a big change for everyone. When you are feeling really down, just say to yourself "At least they're not moving to Scotland like Betsi's kids"

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*
