Then I was strangely fine. It was the anticipation that was the worst for me.

It's heartbreaking when the kids cry because they are missing all that is familiar. I tell mine that it's normal to feel sad but not to let it stop them from feeling all the good things about the move, nor stop them from making new friends. And that making new friends doesn't mean the old ones are gone forever, they're just ADDING to their friendship circle.<BR/><BR/>And then I repeat that to myself like a mantra.<BR/><BR/>I'm feeling hopeful, too. But Sue? If you have any cats, you might want to keep them inside for a good long while. :(Barb Matijevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469997012394334517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-80649589831125019402008-04-08T00:20:00.000-06:002008-04-08T00:20:00.000-06:00Utah is already a lot less funny without you...whi...Utah is already a lot less funny without you...which is really depressing because wasn't that funny to begin with.Jessica G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10641255166732692924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-50391437220251063752008-04-07T22:56:00.000-06:002008-04-07T22:56:00.000-06:00Fingers crossed.
