MookieStl Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 THESE are the good ol' days. You miss the past but cherish the present. My little girl who made her first communion just a few years ago (or so it seems) move to the other end of the country to make airplanes. I missed her terribly. Last September she got transferred back here and now all is right with the word again. It's a rollercoaster, son, enjoy the ride. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It killed us. She was there 2 years and is now only an hour and 45 minutes from here. We were ecstatic when she moved back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We FaceTime talk every night but it's not the same, hopefully she will move closer to home some day. My wife cried herself to sleep every night for a few months 😞 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been living with us since September as she looks for a house. We're making up for lost time. I have three sons as well and they come and go, but there is just something about daddy's little girl! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife still cried for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son in law was a captain in the marines and they were stationed there. Before he got out he applied for various positions with a dozen or so companies. As luck would have it they ended up close to us. We see them every 2 or 3 weeks now as opposed to holidays. I love it but they could still be closer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVED it but now that I have kids, I can appreciate what they must have gone through. It's a completely different dynamic when you're the child as opposed to the parent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
