Good questions J.J. My kids are doing pretty well with it all. The 17 year old, and 11 year old sons are coming with me, and are very excited about it. The 14 year old son says he will stay with his father. He was very mature about it, telling me that he understands that this is best for me, that it makes sense for his brothers to come along since they don't like this small isolated town either. But he has too much to lose by going -- people know him here, they know what he can do, he has many friends -- so he is staying. This is hard for me, but I respect his decision and will not force him to come with me. He does know, however, that he can change his mind at any point to come live with us. I hope he will.
Oh dear! Considering all the work I'm putting into packing (whine) I really can't afford to have my 'stagecoach' 'rustled'!!
Please email me with your contact information and I will make a point to at least call you, if not to meet you for lunch or something similar. Ok?
Thank you everyone ... I do appreciate your kind words. They mean a lot to me. It has been very difficult bearing the censure of my local friends.
