My son is moving from Georgia to Tampa Florida in February and I am having a tough time with it.
Words of encouragement are all appreciated.

Is this an adult child? College? Young child moving with an ex?

I have one on the west coast, one on the east coast, and one on the Gulf coast. They all know where home is.

Let your son enjoy his new endeavors and you find ways to enjoy your now available time.

My daughter moved to Dallas from Lafayette and married a guy from there. It tore me up.
They moved back and live a couple of miles away. The grandkids are over frequently.

My son moved out of state for college. It was hard but it was time for him to grow up. He needed it. Him and his mom are like water/vinegar around each other but he calls and talks to her every day now.

Where are you at in Georgia? Tampa is a pretty easy drive.

That’s the thing. I an happy and proud; just the distance is depressing.

My nephew (sister's son) moved to FL for an engineering job. He worked there for 5 years and asked if he could move back and work remote.
They said that would work and he's "back home."

Good for him!
You just have to wish him the best, be there for him when he has questions, and let the man spread his wings.
Are you in GA…so at least pretty close…looks like a lot of trips to FL in your future.

Be proud of your child, and encourage him to really experience his new state. FaceTime or talk once or twice a week, and be there, but whenever it gets tough (it always does) let him know that nostalgia is a powerful drug.

He is an adult and needs to find his own path. It is difficult to have them tell you they are going to come to visit you and then go home but it is better than having them being held to the path you have made. Life is about untiring something then letting it go to see if you did a good job.

Personally, if I was you I would be going to South Florida every few months.
Id go see the kid, play golf, check out the west coast, east coast, miami, drive down to the keys.
Kid may not live there forever so I would use it as a good launching point.

One of my granddaughters moved up here with me to finish school. Her parents realize its for the best for her academics.
I'll fly her home a couple times this year.
