I'm so sad :(

I am going to be facing the same thing soon enough. I am so happy that both my parents will be here to help, but I know it will be even harder than the the usual goodbyes when they leave. My mother and I are best friends, we talk every day and share just about everything. I am sorry to hear that your mom is leaving.

I can certainly relate to this. My daughter moved to NC last year. We're also best friends and share everything. She wants me to move up to NC but it's not that easy. She's coming down in 10 days and I am scheduled to go back with her for a visit. We'll see what happens. She was my rock when she was here. I miss her terribly!!!

Mom's gone back home now. Thanks so much for the sympothy. She truly is my best friend and I love her so very much. We talk several times every day and send emails and such, but it's just not the same having her so far away. She's a beautiful person, so wise and patient. So helpful and cheerful. So positive and gentle. Quinn will be devistated, too. She loves her Grammy.

At least mom got to be here while I delivered Vince. The pain of childbirth scared me and confused me. I didn't feel my labor with Quinn. The epidural worked with her so I was totally shocked when I felt this labor and it was a blessing having her there with me. She held my right hand while hubby held my left. Having her there with me was such a comfort, especially since I was experiencing the total shocking pain of labor for the first time. She had been through it and she helped coach me through it. She was able to witness the miracle of her grandson being born.

It was also a blessing to have her with me during Quinn's transision from only child to having a sibling. She helped so much. She cleaned tons, cooked amazing dishes, watched Quinn while I tried to catch up on sleep.

She's an angel and I wish she wasn't so far away My mom lost her job so she can't plan another trip to TX for a long time, not until she finds work and gets caught up on bills. We don't have enough money to plan a trip to Michigan for the rest of this year, so I dont have any idea when I'll see her again. Maybe, just maybe, the economy will perk up and she'll be able to sell her house in Michigan and move here to TX
