12 hours between us

last week my mother moved to Seoul, South Korea. and I miss her. while walking up the escalator at the mall, when picking up my boys at school. I miss her, yet even though this has altered my life in very unexpected ways, though I am afraid, I know that letting her go is part of growing up. I miss her, but I'm grateful for the opportunity we have now to deepen our bond, and build a healthier, more loving relationship.

awww, I had no idea, Irene. I know you will miss her. It's tough growing up and letting go sometimes for sure. I promise that managing the distance does get easier. (I've done it for nearly 15 years)

My mom once moved 6 hours away - I had forgotten about how hard it was until I read this...I'll be thinking about you.

Someone once told me (someone I missed) that "missing is the best part of love." So is not missing, but missing makes it so.

My son lives in Seoul
I know how hard it is to be apart from those you love
