She is soooooooo ADORABLE!! And you can SEE her excitement and that her and her brother were having the time of their lives.
I truly don't know how you're going to cope with her moving away. easy child and sister in law seriously considered moving out of state, half way across country..........and I swear it's the only time I butted into their business. Because it wasn't just their business in my opinion, but mine and Darrin's as well. I had him endlessly those first 3 yrs while easy child went to school.........we were inseparable, still are for the most part. He's very very attached to his Nana. Told her it wasn't fair of her to know that we have such a special relationship, then drag him half way across country and just expect him to "cope" when he was too young to understand. Told her he'd resent her and sister in law forever for it. Which I don't doubt as my Mom tried something similar and I
never forgave her for it.......although I eventually went to live with grandma again. It really made both her and sister in law stop and think about the move more seriously.......and the whole being without family support thing too. They changed their minds. (thank god)
Poor Aubrey is the same way with me for pretty much the same reasons, although Nichole did her parenting, she's used to always having her Nana there. And she is having problems coping without family nearby, although she's only an hour and a half away. She talks to me daily on the phone now......and I'm preparing for summer sleep overs with her to help.
Makes my heart ache for Keyana. Sounds awful, but I'm hoping her mom changes her mind after a short time and sends her back to you guys who have done most of the parenting with her.
((hugs))
