Changes

Well, I am about to experience a pretty big change in my life.......I am a grown up woman of 47, but...........my mother is moving away! I have always lived in the same county as my mom, and usually only about 10 to 20 minutes away. I think 40 miles was the farthest ever and that was 20 years ago. I am going to miss her alot. We talk on the phone at least once a day, and share alot of the same interests: craft fairs, thrift stores, chick flicks, food. But moving will be a good thing for her, she doesn't want to work as hard as she has been, would like to take life a little easier, and it is just too expensive here. She will be living next door to a dear friend of hers, so she won't be alone. She will be able to have the garden she always wanted here, but traded for an ocean view. I am trying to be happy for her, I am happy for her, but sad for me. I will miss her. She will be about 3 1/2 hours away now, not too far that we can't visit her often. But I won't be able to call her on the spur of the moment and say meet me downstairs for coffee, or at the end of the pier for breakfast, or come out and watch the sunset with me. I knew this would eventually happen, but it still catches me by suprise. Mother, I am going to miss you so much!
