Thank you for bearing with me and giving me lots of positives , it really does help , and I know it will all be ok I just need time to get used to it 😊 she’s already booked to come home on the 20th July so not long to wait ..,,, thank you so much for lovely replies and for listening to me dribble on lol
Oh I so feel for you as I’m in a similar situation. My daughter who's been really supportive since my diagnosis now lives 3 1/2 hours away. It was hard to see her leave but I knew the move was really good for her. And we talk a lot which is great. My son lives abroad but visits as often as he can and although my other daughter lives locally, she suffers from a few worrying health issues herself, sadly.
What helps me is to use all the different media to stay in touch, Facebook, Messenger or WhatsApp, texting and video calls and sharing photos with each other too. It really makes such a difference! So hope you can stay strong, I will keep my fingers crossed for you x
I know how you feel! I have two daughters: one lives in Canada after living in Australia for many years! She moved to Canada from Melbourne as she thought we would see more of each other! My other daughter has just finished working in Bangladesh and before that Qatar! Now working in New York! I just have to tell myself that they have their own lives and I have to get on with mine, which I try to do! However, each time we separate it makes me so sad! Keep on being happy!
You could always Skype or what's app on your mobile or computer/tablet that way you will get to see them feel like they are there with you. I Skype every fortnight to say hello
Dear Cales,
That is hard yes..and so good of you to keep a brave and happy face till they go. I am sure they won’t mind if you shed a tear, they probably will too.
My Bea has been coming and going over the years. I get used to having her back home and she is off again leaving the nest..
We are so lucky to have all those internet connections these days so we can keep in touch.
