re: Dads of daughters, I need some advice.

My youngest daughter is three hours away from graduating college. She just moved out again (had moved back in when Laura tore up her apartment). Her older sisters (2) both live in Texas. She plans to move there too, after graduation.

Want some real sadness to look forward to? Imagine yourself waking up on this fine Saturday morning and reading this thread while looking around your big ol’ house and realizing that your (almost) fifty year old self is all alone now.

No matter where I’m at, what I’m doing or who I’m with, I drop everything when my phone rings and one of their names pops up. They still call me for advice over their mom and that’s what I’m most proud of now.

Same here- with one difference- when the kids go back to Texas, so am I. If their Dad decides to stay in Louisiana, that's fine by me. I want you to know you are only alone if you allow yourself to be that way. Find something to fill that time, and make plans so that you are always there for them- because their kids will grow fast too!

I am not sad - I am hopeful for the future I will have as the best grandma ever- just like I was the very best Mom. I am sure you will be just the same.
