My one and only daughter, Liberty, is VERY far away from us, a whole ocean and continent away, but it is for her future in a country that can offer her security and prosperity. It is ironic that she has moved to Canada, her mother's country of birth, although she was born in her mother's adopted country, Greece!<br /><br />Wishing you the best of this 'withdrawal week', but trust me, it gets easier.<br /><br />xx<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-75163622708141359582014-06-12T13:24:02.847-07:002014-06-12T13:24:02.847-07:00:( Awww..Carol, I'm sorry.

So that's the whole<br />gist of it.........<br />These are painful and difficult times and some grieving is certainly understandable and normal.<br />But I remember thinking how much sadder it would be if they were leaving and we were glad they<br />were going..............our hearts might feel better but it would be a sad thing not to care..........<br />Don't stay away too long, now is a good time to lean on hubby which I know you are already doing and to lean on your friends and we bloggy friends understand too, and I agree maybe you should<br />keep that tea set out...........and get it out of your system.

Wishing them all the best and I think that instead of putting the tea set away, you should display and embrace them, that way, you'll inundate yourself with emotion at the beginning then learn to live and remember them smiling as you get used to seeing them! :-)Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.com
