Life is going to be alot different around here

This is a bitter sweet week for me. My sister Camie who has lived next door to me for the past 2+ years is moving on Saturday. I am so excited for her and for her beautiful new home she bought but I am also sad that she is leaving me. When Erick got sent to Iraq more then 2 years ago it was a dream come true when the house right next to me was for rent. I truly thought it was too good to be true. She had lived out of state for a few years which was so hard for me, and then to have her move back to Utah and right next door to me, it has been the perfect situation. When Erick was in Iraq I was suppose to be helping her out but I think she ended up helping me more then I helped her. She has been so great to my kids and has watched them for me so many times. Jack adores her. I had Jack 1 week after she moved in and she help me get over the baby blues I always seem to get after having my 2 kids. We have spent the last 2 years running all of our errands together, sitting outside watching the kids play, taking turns having dinner at each others houses, and doing fun things with the kids. It will be so weird not having her right next door when I need somebody to talk too. She truly has been so great. I am happy she is only moving 5 minutes from me and not to another state at least this time. Our kids have truly become more like siblings then cousins. They spend every minute together which will be hard for my kids to adjust too. I am worried for whoever moves next door because they might have 2 kids coming into their house all the time until they get used to the fact that Cam and Erick don't live there anymore. I have been so lucky to have my sister next to me for these last 2 years.

I mourn your loss. I think I would feel the same way if Meg moved away too. Like you said though, at least she is only a couple minutes away.

That is really hard, I can only imagine. I don't have a sister, but I would feel the same if I had one, however I wouldn't feel the same if it was any of my brothers leaving next to me.
