Mixed Emotions

[Janice]

As alot of you know, one of the happiest days of my life was when I became grandma almost 2 yrs. ago.

It has been an absolute JOY for me and MANY,MANY TIMES I think my little grandson is the ONLY things that has literally kept me alive!!

Well...it looks like my daughter and her family and yes my grandson will be moving away from Jersey! Her hubby works for the government and they are opening a new facility in North Carolina!!!!!

This is bitter-sweet for me. On one hand I am very glad they are getting out of New Jersey. This state is so very expensive to live in and there is nothing here for them. The cost of living is much cheaper there and they are really excited about the move.

Because he works for the government, they will pay to move them, for housing if the move comes quicker then expected, and will also buy their current home if they can't sell it.

All GOOD things I know but, my heart breaks at the thought of not being able to see my daughter or my grandson whenever I like. They live only 10 min. from me now. I have been truly blessed with them living so close!

My grandson has got me through some VERY HARD days and, he NEVER ceases to 'make it all better" whenever I see him. I've run to him many, many times,and like I said, he has been my ONLY reason for survival on more then 1 occassion. I LITERALLY LIVE FOR HIM!!

I guess maybe God is trying to tell me to depend more on HIM and less on my grandson??

I continue to pray God's will in this situation. I Honestly DO wants what's best for them! They will be 6 1/2 hrs. away so I supposes we COULD take some long weekends and go visit them. I am scared to death my "baby" will forget me! I am going to miss them terribly!!
