My daughter and her husband, both educators, him a headmaster at a private school and her a 5th grade teacher are interviewing for jobs at an International School in Estonia. Estonia is adjacent to Finland on the Baltic Sea. Also adjacent to the Soviet Union, or Russia (what do they call themselves now?). Daughter and hubby are excited; have had one video conference interview and scheduled for another this week. I can't really share their enthusiasm, though I've known they were looking at International Schools.
I am feeling fearful, and even a bit selfish, just wanting them to stay put! They are currently only three hours away from me. I do realize, that when I was young, I allowed my parents to reign me in close to them here in WV, though I longed to travel, move elsewhere. I don't want to be like that toward them! But I'm also strongly tempted to voice my concerns to my daughter.
What is your advice?
Love
Patty
