When our oldest, at 21, moved 12 hours away with her husband she left a burned cd with her little sister who was 14. She and I listened to it while I was driving her to school and we were such blubbering babies we had to kill some time window shopping before I could drop her off.

And Mama seems to be handling all the "going" rather well. Seven hours of mountain roads can't separate your love. It's just time and a bit of distance. She'll always be your little girl. Best wishes for the happy couple! Such a beautiful bride! And Mama seems to be handling all the “going” rather well. Seven hours of mountain roads can’t separate your love.

I am in Colorado and my sister is in California). Believe me, it's hard for the kid who moves away too... but God willing you won't be parted for long.

That day is looming closer than I'd like for me (my eldest will be 18 this year) and posts like these give me a little glimpse into my future. I thought of you on Saturday! I've been watching the paper for an announcement, but I've missed it if it ran. oh goodness… congratulations to all – and some ((hugs)) for Mary.

How lucky are you that they are not staying 7 hours away permanently?! You have got to love them for wanting to come back. It will fly and she will be so grown up when she returns and you and her will be wonderful She is going, but hey, she is coming back.

I think I tried to post something here earlier and it just wouldn't go. My "baby" girl is 13...and waaay too old for her age. My "baby" boy is 16. It all happens too fast, doesn't it. (((((Mary))))))) How wonderful, though. How very wonderful. Oh how beautiful. I think I tried to post something here earlier and it just wouldn’t go.

I am struck by your beautiful choice of the word "going" because going is not the same thing as leaving. I wish Amanda and Ben all the best as they go on their new journey together.
