Well, My daughter's boyfriend came over to meet us a couple of weeks ago. It was only an hour or so as they had made plans to visit a few places while he was here for the weekend. He seems really nice, quite shy, yet they looked very happy together. I hope they will make a go of it as she is very special to me. They are looking at houses to rent now.
I am feeling a bit better about her moving away but then I have days when I just want to cry my eyes out as I will miss her so much.
She pops in some days after she finishes work, and I will miss those times so badly... I retire in June and I did buy a campervan as planned. I have joined a group of other ladies who have campervans and they meet up for weekends away.
My family is so small, I have a brother and sister in law near me but they doesn't socialise really and so I don't see them very often, My sister and her husband keep to themselves as they do lots of running/marathons etc. I only have my eldest daughter near me but she has a partner who has anxiety issues and my grandson who is 21 is disabled so I only see her when I take her shopping or when we go out with the daughter who is moving away. Of course I will still see her and take her places she needs to go, even to visit her sisters.
I think I am suddenly realising I could so easily end up with no one and it is a very sad situation to be in.
I have another daughter who lives down south but due to Covid I haven't seen her or my son in law and GD for nearly 2 years. We are meeting up in two weeks however, this is probably the last time my 3 girls and I will all be together with them all living in different areas.
I am hoping to get out in my campervan once I retire and stop feeling sorry for myself and get on with my life.
