I have two grandchildren who are my life. I have kept them at home since birth, they spend a lot of time with myself and my husband, spending nights during the week and weekends, taking them on trips with us, just loving every second with them. My son-in-law has now decided to join the military and they will be moving to goodness knows where. I am completely heartbroken, all I do is cry. Now when they are here we make the absolute most out of every second but when I look into their little faces my heart breaks all over again. My husband and I are my 5-year-old grandson's life, if he could move in and live with us he would. While realizing that kids are resilient I am terrified at what this is going to do to him. Yes, I will admit, I am being extremely seflish, I do not want them to leave. I do not want to go from being a huge part of their life to only being able to possibly see them once every six months or less. It is absolutely killing me inside.
Has anyone ever been through this? How have you coped? I have never been so heartbroken or crushed in my life.
Thanks so much for listening.
