This week is the last week I will have a family member who lives within a 500 mile radius from me. Sad day. Andrew moves on Thursday to go start a new life up by my parents and I cannot tell you how depressed that makes me.
I want to live by my family.
I want to go shopping with my mom on the weekends.
I want to go to the church where my dad is the pastor.
I don't want to be the only one missing out on birthday parties, weekend get-a ways, random get togethers and other things that now EVERYONE is a part of...sigh.
I know that I should suck it up. People live apart from their families ALL THE TIME, but if I don't have to live far away then why should I? The only thing holding me here is Jeff. He isn't sure that moving is a good thing. He thinks we should stay a few years for reasons which I choose not to share with the internet. He is my husband so I trust in his judgement, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it and it certainly doesn't mean that I have to be happy living so far away.
The good thing that comes out of this...I get to see my mom and dad and grandparents next week as they are all coming down to help Drew move. Hurray! Counting my blessings where I can.
Stay positive - I know it's hard being away from your family but soon enough you will be reunited with them!
