It’s Tough To Let Go
On May 12th Lady Ali and her fiancee will be moving to Kansas. I tried to put it out of my mind, to forget that it was coming so soon but I can’t any longer. They’re packing and getting ready to go and will come here that Monday to say goodbye.
It’s the day after Mother’s Day and all I keep selfishly thinking is that I want her close to me for all of the upcoming Mother’s Days. She’s 21 but it feels like yesterday that she was my little baby. I’ve been crying again thinking of the future. It will be difficult to visit her because of Peanut. It’s not like I can just pick up and leave when I want.
It’s also hard for me to plan trips, especially on airplanes with my health issues. But I’d go no matter what when I’d have a ticket in my hand. Although she’s been on her own for about 5 years (she lived with a friend of mine during some tough high school years) she was always just a car ride away. Now I’m looking at about 1300 miles between us.
I still can’t get that in my head. Writing it hurt me.

I’m so sorry!! They grow so fast!!! Mine are still very young but I know time fly away so fast, in no time they will be grown ups.
Keep the phone by your side and for sure she’ll understand if you call her to check up on her, but I know it won’t be the same as to see her face to face.
Keep in mind that the fact that she is following out with her life is a sign that you taught her well and she’s following the right path.
Hugs.

Sometimes just thinking about the miles themselves is a tough thing to get your head wrapped around. When the girls were both in Kentucky it seemed so incredibly fair away and now with Jamie in your part of the country, it’s actually even further and I’m still not used to it. I’m not sure I ever will be.
Of course, there are times when Amanda is sitting in the next room but seems so very far away!
