When my husband, Bruce, and I decided to move in with his parents, we worried how my mother would react. My parents live in the same town, though on the very far other side. We made the decision based on many factors, but I feared she would envy the time Bruce's parents would get to share with Emmie. I assured that her that we would be spending a lot of time at her house also. She took the news really well and has been very supportive.
Today I was kind of freaking out and her and I were texting back and forth. (Thank God for texting. In some ways it's the ideal form of communication). She wrote, "You have to look at the big picture and it is great that [Emmie] will have a lot of time with her two sets of grandparents. That is a very good thing."
Whatever age you are, when you have doubts, it is always such a relief to hear your mother is on your side. If a storm is going on inside me, a few simple words from her can be so calming. Thanks, Ma.
