Here we sit, 10 days before birthdays. 10 days till I turn 43 and my beautiful daughter turns 14 - WoW - i miss that chubby little ball of energy. Now she is a budding woman.
We are still trying to sell the house. My dreams of space and a 2nd bathroom on hold. My sister called yesterday to asked if I could take the boys for the weekend. I of course will! I don't, however, like the reason. They are going to look at a house on the island. Bowser to be exact. There are so many, many reasons why this upsets me. Yet I understand why she would go look and also why she would entertain the thought of making a new life there. Her husband making the attempt to move his business ......... that would be the biggest gamble. They need an income -
It was bad enough when my brother moved away - he has of course been in contact with her to share his experience of raising his children away from their grandparents. The sadness he feels that his kids don't have relationships with us, with their grandparents. He is grateful to have a cuzn' close by and a long lost aunt which made the transition easier in the beginning, but then they started a family, That's when they really felt it.
In the end Sister must do what i right for her and her family. A big house and acreage is awesome - i can totally understnd why they would want to do this. I will support her in whatever she decides. She is my sister and I love her. But she might as well be moving to California or Alberta for how far she will be
