My youngest son moved to England last July.
Best of luck to her, and to you.

*edited from baby boy to youngest son as he would
hate being referred to as a baby now. *

Now, if only I could get the older one to move out!

Oh... she's just going to Scotland. Ya had me all excited there for a moment and ready to buy a plane ticket to the land of haggis.

My perverted fantasies aside, watching them leave the nest is a bittersweet moment. My condolences and congratulations.

Scotland is beautiful, and the Scottish people are friendly and warm. Make sure your daughter takes plenty of warm clothing and waterproof coats lol

Status: offline 		Even though my daughter only moved about 35 minutes away from me two years ago, I'm still coming to grips with an empty place and trying not to call her everyday so I can give her space. She gets annoyed when I start being "mom".

It's weird when the house is empty but you still expect your kid to start yelling or slamming doors lol.

Congratulations, anyway!! It's exciting to have another goal accomplished!

My niece was married at Gretna Green, in the blacksmith's forge (a very old tradition).

And I have peered up many a kilt in my time, and fondled a sporran or two

You're doing damn well then. If you're that broke up about it i'm sure I could ask around for some more kids to send your way.

Actually, we got a bit lucky I think lol. She got a full academic scholarship, and a full art scholarship which takes care of some of the cost. I'll probably end up paying what it cost for med school when her sister went through.

Anyway, thanks ya'll lol. She is pretty excited. I was surprised she decided to go with Scotland though, I really thought she was going to head back to Japan first chance she got. Shows what I know

I just wish it was not so soon after graduation...that sucks...big time.
