what is that Star Track expression --'going where no man has gone before'??
Okay--direct quotes have never been my strong point.
This Christmas will be the first time since my eldest son was born 28.5 years ago that I will be CHILDLESS over the holidays. Quinton will not be able to make the trek to Tucson as planned--and he is my 'last baby'--my youngest. ((Cir****tances beyond my control--like no one being able to pick him up at the Mpls airport Christmas Day or even Boxing Day and then drive him home to TBay..)) There are other scenarios attached to this statement. BUT I know that God will take care of us both!!
So this Star Track expression is ALMOST valid!
How about--going where it's a been a heckuva long time since no man has gone??
I'm worried about how HIS Christmas will be--but I'm sure his Grandma and Grandpa will take good care of him, as will his Big Brother/mentor/boss. Separation anxiety??
Okay--but he will ALWAYS be my baby!!

WOW, Sue - that WOULD be a hard pill to swallow!!! No one could blame you if you have a bit of a meltdown that day, you've got a lot of MONUMENTAL changes happening in the next month!
As much as families are central to Christmas, just focus on this GIFT you are being given, and where it came from. I wish I could offer to do the driving for you & Q...

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Hey Darla~
Things will progress as they should....I know that Q will be taken care of in ALL ways, so I do not feel like I'm heading off on a tangent that I shouldn't be. I DO NOT feel like I should cancel AZ plans--or even alter them in any way.
I've always had a hard time emotionally at Christmas--even more so since my beloved died, but I am comforted by the fact that I will be with my favouritest sister.
Q's Big Brother/mentor is the owner of The Great Northwest Coffee Company and is teaching Q the fine art of roasting coffee. Jeff has been the father-figure that Q missed out in when his dad died, and has steadfast in his loyalty to Q. (Only good friend to me--strictly platonic)
Anyway--Q will be staying in this apartment until the end of January. That way I don't lose out on the last month's rent or be around for only half of Dec while paying for it all. Q wants to move into the basement ap't--all 10X16 feet of it. So small that the fridge is built into the hallway with access via the hallway. Good enough for a young single guy--not single if you include his wonky cat!! No need to do the 'change of address' stuff!
I tried to word things in the initial posting so folks would not think I was looking for someone to offer to pick Quin up. Did I succeed??

Hey Sweet, SweetSue! Oh my gosh, you've been over-inundated by the recent US political garbage--just a kindly, humorous note: the show was Star Trek...'Track' is Sarah Palin's eldest son in Iraq. Sweetie, take a deeeeeeeeeeep breath. Everything's going to come up roses (thorn-less at that!) and you'll do swell. Remember the 'separation anxiety' when your kids were wee tots, and the anxiety was you, not them? I've believing this HUGE leap of faith you're taking is the right thing to do, and yes, I know you'll be just fine once you get the SPF45 sunscreen on, and 'get your motor running down that highway!" Breathe, breathe, breathe! Sending oceans of love and generous hugs galore your way! Patti (certain your intelligence and sense of humor will allow you to laugh out loud at this! 
)
)Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.
Well, don't you know that the first while I DID have Star Trek--and then thought-nah-- that can't be right. (Can you hear/read the Old Swedish Minnie-sota accent??) So obviously not a Trekkie!! Didn't know about the eldest child Palin being 'Track'--what a name for a poor kid...
Sorry--can't help it--I've been his mom ever since Q was born!!
Okay--make that 'his mom since BEFORE he was born'!! Will miss him sooo much--but hey, life goes on...Couldn't afford Santa or anything else this year either...But then, for Quin, every day he spends with me is Christmas anyway!! (Yup--I'm THAT good to him!)
(((HUGS)) back at ya~
