Yesterday, my sister's family came for Thanksgiving. We celebrated Christmas, thanksgiving, my birthday. Soon, they will be moving across the country. My brother in law has gotten a fantastic job offer and my sister as well (very difficult, they found, to place two phDs in the same state, much less commuting distance). And so, although we made promises of seeing each other again before they leave, hopefully twice (they plan to move with Christmas, when they would normally go visit family back east anyway), this visit definitely had the feel of parting.
We have been so lucky to have them here for the past couple of years, to have them here for their baby's birth, at a time when Jamie is old enough to remember and love them.
O.k., more later. I'm going to dry into my tea. :-(

I know how hard it can be to be away from family. Suddenly you feel so spoiled. Best wishes and I hope you can still manage to meet up.
Best wishes
So sorry Holly, someone moving is always hard.
Oh, that is so sad. I must say, I am so thankful to have all my family near by and to see them regularly. Hugs to you.
How exciting and sad ... HUGS!
Moving is so hard. We have been through that. Hugs to you and your family. I am sure you will all find ways to keep in touch.
I'm so sorry! I know how that feels. My sister moved across the country in the spring. It sucks. Hopefully you'll be able to see them once in a while.
(((((hugs.))))
((((HUGS)))) Okay! Spill it, when is your birthday? Mines Nov 27.
Didn't want to admit this to you, but I've been getting teary pretty regularly about this move--the hard part being away from you. I keep trying to think about all of the times we will still visit, but it won't be the same.... Love you
