[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her go, Mom. It's time. You did a great job to have a kid confident enough to strike out on her own like that. [/quote]

Thanks but it isn't about "letting her go" to college -- it is the fear that she'll be gone for good.  Looking down the road, I don't want to be a long-dstance grandmother!!! [/quote]

why do you want to stick around here if your daughter establishes herself out west?

A friend's dad just retired to Seattle because one of his daugthers is there. You can go TOO.[/quote]

Yeah, wow that sounds so easy. Perhaps OP's home and life is here and she doesn't want to uproot at this stage of the game. [/quote]

Life is about making choices. If being close to the grandkids is important to you, then you go. If your life here is more important to you than you don't go. You don't ask your child to sacrifice her life on the altar of your desires because you don't want to have to make hard choices.

Asking for only easy choices is pretty whiny, don't you think?[/quote]
