This is between me and my family, and it is hard enough without everyone telling me what to do, how to do it and when to do it. I know you mean well, and I appreciate the prayers, but this decision is up to me and my family and there is more to work through than just picking up and going across country. Please refrain from advice giving. My ears are closed. My heart is hurting enough. Thank you.Bonnie K.

When it comes down to the core - family is everything - and you just drop and go - everything else will sort itself out - and people especially quilters (I hope) understand.

Just know you have many people keeping you and your family in their thoughts and prayers. <br />I can sympathize with you having your son leaving to travel so far away. Next month will be 8 years since I smiled as I watched my son drive away from our Alabama home, beginning his journey to Monterey, CA to begin his career. Beneath that smile was a struggle to hold back the tears that I was determined he would not see, and at the same time being so proud of him for pursuing his dreams. I am thankful for technology that makes those miles seem far less with the ability to video chat with him. I think of the pioneers that left families with few hopes of ever seeing them again and waiting months for letters for news from back home, and remind myself how fortunate we truly are!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136264132659958527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85090501752446896302018-07-26T11:30:28.690-04:002018-07-26T11:30:28.690-04:00Bonnie, thanks for exposing those innermost sister...Bonnie, thanks for exposing those innermost sisterly and motherly worries here.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. And as a tidbit of information for you, my son is 35 and lives in Portland. (He's getting married in September!) But if Jason ever needs new friends, let me know and perhaps they could meet up. At least he could help him get the lay of the land, etc. Never can have too many friends :)Barb Neiwerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489488237974557963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70535023813757485882018-07-26T09:22:14.499-04:002018-07-26T09:22:14.499-04:00My in-laws live at the bottom of the Blue ridge pa...My in-laws live at the bottom of the Blue ridge parkway in Luray, Va.
