[quote=Anonymous]It's been hard on me too - I grew up in a small town, same friends since I was 5 years old, we're still sort of friends now (mostly facebook), but I have a lot of affection for them and my town. At the same time, I recognize that I could not WAIT to get out of that town and meet new people and have new experiences and just be allowed to GROW. So, yeah, I am sad sometimes that my kids might not have life long friends, but some of their friends may last. I'm more sad at how disconnected from nature they are - lack of stars, seeing gorgeous sunsets every day (our view west is partially blocked), wandering in quiet. my parent's had a wood burning stove, so it's even dumb stuff like cutting logs - they'll never feel what it's like to split wood (which is hard but a great work out and fun). Or be sent out ot weed the huge garden - just physical labor vs exercising on machines. [/quote]
