Having moved every 2-3 years, changing locations is just another thing we do. With texts, email, Skype, Facebook...now blogs etc, it is easier now to stay in touch than ever before. Of course, I still have to write the emails, which is something I'll need to work on. Amie is much better at it.
None-the-less, goodbyes are not easy. I feel bad for my mom. It is easy to forget that there is another side to our goodbyes. While we are excited to have completed our tour here and are very excited about the adventures that lie ahead our goodbyes are said with anticipation. My mom's are said with knowing there will be long bouts of separation and increased difficulty with keeping in touch. All the assurances of visits and Skypes sessions to come won't help the initial sadness with goodbye.
