The above are some good ideas of yours. Mention that the sunshine will help your depression. Mention that you have wanted a change for a long time and are very happy that now that they are big boys, you can finally venture out on your own while remaining close to them and always wanting to hear about how they are doing. Mention that they will always be welcome to visit and that you hope they will. Do not mention that they SHOULD be happy for you to feel happy but instead say that you are sure they WILL be happy.
I hope you enjoy!
