All of a sudden this afternoon I am feeling incredibly sad. I was just sitting here thinking about all the things I have to do to get through the final stretch of our big move from Indiana to Virginia, and I became sad. I was thinking about how hard I worked this past year on getting all my girls plugged into activities. All of them went to the camps offered by Impact2818. They made friends and had a really great time. It was worth all the worry about sending them. I don't think there is anything like that where we are going in Virginia. That is not to say that sending them back to Indiana to camp would be impossible. . . I guess I am just thinking about what my vision for them was. I had hoped they would experience a lot of the same things I did growing up. Most of those things are things I did here, in my home state. I feel sad because my oldest daughter doesn't know how she will fit in, and I don't know what to tell her. I feel sad because I won't be able to take the girls to Chicago every year on the first Saturday in December like we have done for the past 5 years. I feel sad because I have to say goodbye to all of my family. I don't know if I will ever see my 91 year old grandmother again. I feel sad because I have to leave my neighbors who have been so kind and fun for the last four years. I feel sad because I won't have any neighbors or know anyone when we pull into the driveway of our new home in Virginia. I feel sad because we won't be spending Christmas Eve at my sister's in-laws like we have done for the last ten years or so. I feel sad because my girls won't know the excitement of "Hoosier Hysteria" during basketball tournament season. Things obviously, will be different for all of us. There will be good things waiting for us in Virginia. New traditions to start, new friends to meet, a new church to go to. All of that to be sure, but today I feel sad.
