[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 478718, member: 1233"] I hope they are making a rational decision and not just an emotional one. The gifted boy might get some great help here, but it depends on where in OK they move too. If you know the area, pm it to me and I will tell you what i know of the area. We looked hard at the school districts around Tulsa a couple of years back, and my dad taught in OK City for decades, plus husband's dad and stepmom were both educators in that area, so I know a lot about those school districts also. But jobs for those with minimal education are NOT plentiful around here. State kids insurance is excellent for healthcare here though. We have found a LOT of docs take it that didn't take any of the private ins co's we could choose from. Jess is getting FAR better care with the state ins than we had access to with private ins, strange as that is. Not sure about jobs in Montana either. But I can give some info about OK if you want it. Just pm me and let me know the area and your questions. This has to be very hard for you. Whatever happens, I hope you can stay in touch via skype, facebook, email, letters, etc.... and have lots of visits. Consider recording letters on cds or even with an old cassette recorder if that is what they have a player for. We have some cassettes with "letters" from my grandpa and grandma and we all treasure them. My dad put them on cd a few years ago, and it is so awesome to hear their voices. As young as your grandkids are, consider reading some books onto videos for them. My parents did this for Wiz when we moved, and for the other kids when they came along. It was a way to feel very close to them, and we treasure those videos. My dad also read stories onto tapes for them (cds now). He has an amazing voice for it, very soothing and relaxing - so much so that the kids had to use headphones to listen to them in the car because he made husband and I relaxed and sleepy, lol!
