I can see where you would have many questions and reservations about this move for your family. It's only natural to be wary and sad that they will be in another country.

One thing I try to remember is that nothing is forever. Even when it feels yucky....there are so many options for you all to keep in touch. The world is a much smaller place now than it ever was before. We don't have to wait for snail mail or phone calls....the internet has brought us all so much closer together in that realm.

And just think.....you could travel there to visit them. This would be a great time for you to see some of the world that you never thought possible. I, for one never dreamed I would ever get to the UK. That dream did come true for me, and a few times since then also. Never ever did I dare to dream of going to Eastern Europe, but made it to Romania 4 times to my delight!

I completely understand your fears and trepidations here....and I'm glad you were able to speak to your daughter about them. It's always good to have open communication
