chalm: I guess I missed it. Are you leaving here? Do you have to go? I think we will miss you if you do.

My nephew that i've raised as my own since he was born is leaving later this week. His father, my brother, has decided its time for him to raise him. My brother moved to Illinois a month back. He is suppose to arrive sometime tonite and right after christmas he is taking my nephew with him back up to Illinois.

That boy is my heart.

Thank you all for your kind words. This just hurts so much.

Oh ((((((((((((((( chalm ))))))))))))))))

I can only imagine how this makes you feel. Let this not be good-bye but just "so long for now". Good-bye's to me seem so final...and this doesn't have to be a final thing for either of you.

Your nephew will take with him all the love you gave him over the years. He will take with him the wonderful memories he has of his aunty. You will both always be connected, your bonds never to be broken.

It's not good-bye.....it's "so long" dear nephew....godspeed and love on your next journey.

With much love
sabby

My nephew asked me to tuck him in tonite. I said of course. I kissed him on the forehead and told him i loved him. And he had tears in his eyes when i looked at his face. He told me, this will be the last time you get to tuck me in.

He offered his room to his dad and fiance' while they are here. He said he will sleep on the couch.

My heart is breaking.

I am so proud of who he has become.

Looks like you've given this young man a strong foundation for life - resilience and the strength to care about others no matter what he is going through. In fact, he sounds a lot like you - I'm glad you've raised a child you can be proud of. Be proud of yourself too. Will be thinking of you

and
((((((nowhere)))))))

Thank you

I'm so not in this holiday spirit. I walk out of the room and put that mask on. All they are talking about is taking Tres' and leaving already. Telling him what hes going to do and not do. He has no voice.

I feel like just sleeping through this whole holiday. I dont feel merry, not happy. I want something to forget everything around me.

Sorry I'm late seeing this thread. This must be incredibly difficult for you. But you can keep in touch with your nephew through lettters, e-mail, and phone calls. This doesn't mean you're losing him forever.

Its about 2 in the morning on saturday. Around 5 this evening my brother, erica and tres will be leaving and moving to Illinois.

I've spent the last few days doing nothing but crying. My eyes are so swollen. I know its the right and the best thing for my nephew. I'm just mad. Mad that they have to move away and so far.

Everyone, family and friends have done the same thing. They've all moved away. I have no friends down here now. And the only family is my parents. I feel so alone.

I wrote my nephew a letter and i put it in his bag. Sometime tomorrow while he's on the road, he'll come across the letter. I just hope i dont upset him in the letter. I know already he is feeling the homesickness coming on. He's being the tuff guy and acting like everything is so cool.

I'm worried about him. I want him to find some friends. I want him to enjoy school and like his teachers. I just want him to be happy and not worry about things. I want him to be a kid and have fun.

Dont know wether i'll be able to sleep tonite or not.
