Very Sad today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out this morning that my closest friend here in St. Island is moving to FL because her husband is being transferred with his job. They have to be there by August 4th the latest................due to school starting there so early. I am broken hearted, not only for myself, but more so for my nine year old...........my friend's daughter is my daughter's best friend! She is going to be DEVASTATED...........both of them are. I feel like such a baby, but I have been crying on and off all morning....I can't even get myself out of my PJs...........I know I should go out for a walk to clear my head, but instead I am wallowing in pity. Just had to share..........and yes.............I am looking for sympathy. Have a good day. S

SH, Hun it is ok to have a pitty party, just take your time and cry...when you are ready then pick ya self back up and take care of what you have to do. I know how that feels when a very good friend moves away... and worse yet you are feeling so upset for your daughter.....Just be there for each other and you will get through this! ~hugs you~ I am sorry hun, that is all i can say!!!

Thanks so much, Deb. I just can't believe how sad this is making me! How are you feeling? I am so glad to see you here posting. I hope you are still home resting............getting your strength up and everything. And I am ESPECIALLY happy that everything tested OK for you...............truly I am. Well, I finally got myself dressed. Now, I will watch AMC and then get out for a walk and also pick my baby up from school. Thanks again for the kind words. S

S Twice in one day ... I am so sorry to hear your dear friend is moving. Good friends are hard to come by and when one leaves for whatever reason it is a huge void to fill. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Thank You. YOur words are very kind. Tomorrow I will have a chance to sit and talk with her and her family............hopefully we will all feel better. S

Hi, SH. You have my sympathy, but more so, you have my empathy! Because been there, done that. I had a very close friend for years...I mean, we were so close that I went to live with her & her husband when I was pregnant almost 24 years ago. (I received no support from my family or the father.) She was closer than any sister I've ever had (and I have two). When I finally got married about 12 years later, my husband became best friends with her husband. My daughter was very closer with her three children all of her life. Well, they had to move to Florida because of a job change. It's now about twelve years later, and, you know the distance stinks, but we still see each other about once a year or so, and have remained very close despite it all. We've been on vacations all together, we've seen her son married, and are supposed to go to Florida in a couple of weeks to see her daughter's school graduation. ALL THIS TO SAY, take heart. It'll be hard, and things change with time a little. But true friends are friends forever, through the good times and the bad. It won't be convenient, but it's worth it to take the time to write & talk on the phone, or vacation together... It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings (and I haven't sung yet!) Lisa

Thank you, Lisa. I know people go through this everyday, it just came as such a shock. Hey, Now I will have a reason to go to Florida! I have never been there. I am glad to hear that you and your friend have remained close. Hey, with unlimited long distance and cell phones, I guess we can still call each other every day. We will just have to have our coffee "OVER THE PHONE!!!!" Thanks again. S

SH, I just moved to NY 2 weeks ago. More than anything I miss my best friend. she has been my best friend for 18 years. We saw each other at least once a week and talked on the phone every day. I have cried many tears the past 2 weeks and will probably cry more. You know what though? I have so many awsome memories that I usually end up smiling after a good cry and then I call her up and tell her ow much I love her. Friendship is meant to be forever no matter how many miles are between 2 people. Hang in there and have fun as much as possible with her the next couple of months. Hugs, Michelle

OH SH what a difficult thing for you and your daughter to go thru. MOMENTS like this will strengthen that mother and daughter bond! YOU will be there for each other thru this sad time in your lives. (((CARING HUGS))) talk to you soon love lisa xoxoxo

(((HUGS))) been there, done that and it sucks!
