Forgive me, for I am a bit emo today.
My sister is taking my nephew 104 miles (I google-mapped that shit) away from me. That’s 90 miles farther away from me than he’s been his whole life.
16 months of having Nolan 30 minutes from me.
Now, I’ll actually have to plan to go see him.
No, “Dinner at Toojay’s tonight,” or “Meet us at the park,” or “Funny seeing you here at Target/Best Buy/Buffalo Wild Wings/the mall.” (It’s freaky how many time, out of the 20,000 people that live in the radius between us, that we just happen to be at the same place at the same time so many times.)
We’ll actually have to plan to take a day trip to see the Best Toddler Baby Jeebus and Oprah Ever Created.
Yes, he’s a better toddler than my own kids.
No, I didn’t say cuter, because as you know, I have the cutest kids on the planet.
bygones
I’ll miss my NoNo.
But I think Claire will miss him most.

I hear ya. When my little sister moved two hours away a few years ago, I mourned the time I wouldn’t get to spend with her eventual children. She’s 8 weeks pregnant now. Sniff.
Moving indeed sucks.

Aw, that sucks.
I don’t have a sister and my brother doesn’t have kids, but I think I can imagine how that sucks. Kind of like my favorite cousins who are like sisters to me who live in NH and Va and I never get to see them or their freaking adorable kids.
Oops, that was all about me.
Um, Damn, that sucks.

Those girls really don’t look out-cute-able.
And, AWWWW. ;/
*hugs*
Awww… the cuteness is boundless. You have my sympathies.

Yes, they will be very much missed. All of them.
Claire will miss him the most. That is for sure.

Both of my kids know what is means to be so far from their cousins….I remember when we were leaving NY as Kerri was crying in the street, she made us all cry when she said, “Aunt Karen why are you taking my best friend away?” At least they are still within a reasonable driving distance! My girls (and the both of you) are in my thoughts…….
We moved to this horrible place 4 years, 2 months, and 23 days ago. I’ve been crying daily ever since that I want to move back to be with my sister. I can’t take much more…
My heart breaks for you.

Such a cutie. So sad that he’ll be moving, but at least they’ll still be close enough where visits are still a car ride away.
