Be gone for awhile

Today my daughter & family will be leaving to North Jersey so that very Early Tues. morning the car service will pick them up and take them to the airport back to Colorado.
So off I go to spend some time before they leave.
This is a very sad day for me.

Phyllis,

They're only a phone call away and I wish them luck in Colorado. They're starting a new adventure in their lives.

Charlie they left on the 22 of Dec. and look how long it took me to see them. Yes we do talk on the phone and do a lot of e-mailing.
Still not the same when I could just drive to Brick and see them.

I understand totally. Most of my family are still in New York and all the phone calls in the world don't take the place of a REAL LIVE visit!!!! Take care.

Phyllis, I am with you there, not the same if you can't go visit without the trains, plains, automobiles mules routine. But, they are moving on to new life and that doesn't mean your not part of it. You just have to travel further, but Colorado has always sounded like a great place to visit. Who knows, you might just like it.

Phyllis - at one time or another each of my three children were living pretty far away. My youngest son moved to Tennessee for quite some time, and my oldest son moved to Ohio for about a year. Tennessee is quite a trip, and I only saw him when he married. Ohio, on the other hand while it is quite a trip, I drove there a few times to visit Rich. My daughter spent some time in Jersey (I was able to visit often) then school in West Virginia - long ride.

Colorado is pretty far, and will have to be a plane ride and a planned vacation.

I hear your pain. E-mails, AIM, phone calls and letters just don't cut it when you want to hug someone.

You hit the nail on the head. It will never be the same.

Phyllis,

I know how you feel. It's so hard with our kids scattered all over.

Check out 'Skybus'. It's a new airline and their prices are ridiculously low. When I take the girls back to CT in Aug., my fare is $60. It is really unbelievable.

In the meantime be strong, I know what you are feeling.

Bobbie, down here in Charlotte County, SKYBUS is coming before the end of the year!

[Deleted]

Thank all of you for knowing how I feel. Nice to know that you are there to cheer me up.

PHYLLIS WE SURE KNOW HOW IT IS WHEN ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN MOVES TO ANOTHER STATE.
OUR JIMMY MOVED TO N.C. ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO. AND WE STILL MISS HIM EVEN THOUGH HE CALLS US A LOT.

I CAN IMAGINE NOW HOW MY POOR LATE MOTHER FELT WHEN JEANNIE AND I AND THE KIDS LEFT HER HOUSE JUST AS WE STARTED THE DRIVE TO FLA. IN JULY 1978.
WE COULD SEE HER CRYING HER HEART OUT AT HER WINDOW.

IT STILL HURTS TO REMEMBER THAT WITHOUT CRYING.
OH YES I CRY A LOT NOW THAT IM IN MY TARNISHED YEARS.


JIMMY AND JEANNIE
