I'm trying to think of positives and I have come up with one. Monkey has way more non-family friends than I did at his age. Actually, I'm not sure I had a good friend who wasn't related to me before I started school. I think I was in 5th grade before I had a "BFF" who wasn't a cousin, lol. That's probably very odd to a lot of people. Thank you both.

I've had those same feelings of wanting things to be more like when I was growing up for my kids, and when someone passes away, those feelings intensify; I guess because we're reminded of how quickly our lives are over. I, too, grew up in a different environment (state), and I often have longed for my children to have the experiences that I had--like my experiences were somehow better than the ones that they are having...and actually, I believe they were. I’m sorry for your loss.

My Husband was just in Virginia attending his Grandmother's Funeral about 2 weeks ago, and it made me think a lot about life, time, family, priorities. All of our family is on the East Coast, 3 time zones away, and it is hard. I know that feeling of having a house full of 50 extended relatives over christmas, and now this Thanksgiving it will be just the 3 of us. My thoughts are with you, and I know it is a trade-off, I am sure you will figure out where is the best place for your family. Umma, I am so sorry for your loss.
