When you're used to just popping in and seeing your children and grandchildren any move very far away is upsetting. I'm like you, I would hate for my kids to move that far away but, as the others have pointed out, it could be further. At least it's a distance that easily driven in a day.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement. I know it will be OK, just different. I took myself and my daughter, 500 miles from her grandma, 23 years ago (daughter was 9). It was fine. Daughter is super close with her grandma. They saw each other several times a year and it was fine. I'm sure I will see them about once a month and it will be fine too.
Daughter just realized yesterday that she has prepaid for 18 months of orthodontic work here in Austin, so I'm sure I'll be meeting her half way, picking up g-daughter and taking her to the orthodontist every 6 weeks!!! LOL! We don't even know when this will happen. Could be this summer, could be next winter. Just have to wait and see.

Gayle, is your daughter still moving? It's been about 2 months, so thought it was time to check.

They are still in the waiting mode. Sil's been told it will happen any time by the end of the year - but because it depends on when the former owner decides to retire, and since he has no timetable, there's no predicting when it will happen. So, we are just living as if it isn't going to happen, in order to not fret or worry about it!
Thanks for asking!

That's a good idea. You really never know what will happen in the end anyway.
When Jess was living up here, and I was still in Brooklyn, I saw them at least once each month, if not more. I like to drive, and would spend a couple of days there. They were about 5 hours one way. It was less visiting, but each time was more special. I also mailed the children packages a lot. If you put $2.00 worth of crayons, candy and whatnot in a box, it's exciting to a child. My MIL used to mail Jessie a letter with one piece of gum in it every so often. It was so exciting to Jessie when she was a little girl!
