Location: Texas | Hugs for you Mom! I know what you are going through! My daughter and son-in-law live 1400 miles away and just had a baby. I am so proud of the life they are making together but I miss them terribly. I hope you like to travel and can visit often!! Sounds like you did a great job with her!  |

Hugs mom we all understand the pain  And boy she moved along ways from home, is she driving herself and the horses to her new home?Â
No, she going with her boyfriend. She has been out there once already, about two months ago. This is his family business, http://www.candeefarms.com/ this is what her boyfriend does for living. |

| From the other end of the perspective - I was that girl (the youngest of 4 kids) who moved away (about 1700 miles) from home at 18 to chase her dreams.
My parents and I talked every Sunday night. We made it a standard date to keep. I missed them like crazy as I moved for college and literally didn't know a soul.
Know this - she wouldn't be doing it if you hadn't instilled some fabulous life skills in her. I'd be willing to bet you have shaped a fabulous, strong, and amazing young woman who can and will take care of herself.
I live about 1200 miles from home now and still talk to my parents every Sunday night. We make the time to see each other in person a few times a year and I have introduced them to skype!
I know it is tough on mommas - hugs and prayers - take pride in knowing that your baby is soaring and chasing her dreams!! |

Thanks...I've always told her to be somebody and go to college. She is vey brave young woman and more guts than me to do this. Her grandma, did the samething almost, from living in Maine to Texas and now IL...my dad was in the US Air force, when he met my mother.I told my husband, i wanted a little catahoula leopard puppy...because she has one that i just loved!. |
