The thing about life, it's always changing! Please don't cry. She is ALWAYS gonna need her mom, ALWAYS! Sometimes it takes time for everything to fall into place. Don't make to many plans around them ( dinner etc ) because if they don't follow thru, ur going to be even sadder. Go shopping, mow the yard, cuss alot ,eat a whole box of Russel Stovers...In the same year, my daughter(18) moved away for college and my mother (75) ran away on the back of a Harley to live with a man in Kansas City.....lol This Really happen!!! The 2 people I love were just gone.... and I was not sure what to do? or even how to breathe...well, I bought a sewing machine and decided to learn how to quilt. I put in another big garden, and after 2 years, I learned how to breathe agin....so will u! hugs and love for u! I know u need it! God Bless
