I never realized how devastating it was for my own mother to have her three daughters marry and then move away. UNTIL my own sons became invisible to me. One I haven't seen for 15 years now due to his circumstances, not mine. The other lives right here across town but may as well live in Africa or somewhere as far as often as I see him...

I too wonder why it is this way now a days, but since I was one of those kids who moved away, now I am getting my just deserts...
