I Had A Rough Evening

I had to say goodbye to my oldest dgd tonight.  Since she's between jobs right now, she decided to go to Arizona for a while to live with her father and meet her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins from that side of the family.  She plans to try to get a job down there and stay for a while.  This was really hard on all of us up here.  She's never been more than five miles away from me for her entire 19-1/2 years of life and we're really going to miss her.  I know, I know - I've been spoiled as so many of you have grandchildren quite a distance from you.  It's just something very new to us.  We've always been very close.  I'm not too sure of what kind of life style her father's family lives and I can't help worrying.  Guess I just have to toughen up.  Tomorrow I'll have to think of something to do to keep my mind busy.

Yep, they just grow those little wings and fly away...taking our broken hearts with them, don't they? I hope you will be able to talk to her by phone often, Kaci. Try not to worry. If she's got a good head on her shoulders, I'm sure she'll be fine. She also knows where her "home" is, too.


Hugs,

HI Kaci


I am sure she will be just fine. Az is a good place to live it you can stand the hot summers. She is young and I am sure her fathers family will take good care of her.


So hard when those we love move so very far away from us.


Love and ((((HUGS)))

Kaci,


I know it has to be hard to let her go.

I'm sure you will miss her so much Kaci. She has the love of her family and the values she was taught by you all. Those things will always be with her.

Kaci, I think it's hard no matter when it happens or how old they are. I was four when my mother remarried. We'd been living with her parents and my grandmother told me years later that it was like the sun had gone out of their lives when I left. My grandson was three when he left and my son was just going into high school when he decided that it would be good to live his dad for a while. We get through those times but, man, it's hard for a while.
