[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 209738, member: 84"] I've discovered MySpace (or something similar) to be wonderful in such situations. K and I talk as often as I talk with the kids here. I send cute pics and such to the grands via the internet or mail. Any family news is posted almost immediately so nothing is ever missed. easy child had the halloween pics up within mins after she got home so that K could see them clear over in Mo. We do Sunday phone calls instead of Sunday dinners, and it's quickly becoming a family event with sibs gathering here to talk to K and the kids. (I have free long distance) And we're hoping weather and easy child's pregnancy cooperates so the whole family can go out to visit next month. I can understand your sadness at having a child move so far away. My Mom was a basket case when I moved to ohio 24 years ago. Now she's been urging the rest of the kids to move away from our hometown. She's even planning to move to the same town as us in the spring. But you should be so very proud the boy knows how to stand on his own two feet and be a man. You taught him how to do that, and obviously you taught him well. Congrats to your son on the job. Good jobs aren't easy to find right now. You'll adjust. And you'll find ways to make the distance seem smaller because there is just no other choice. (((hugs))) for your aching Mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
