It is official, my daughter moved out yesterday. Unfortunately, she didn’t move locally so she won’t be popping over anytime. Her trips home will have to be planned with a plane, train or car. Everyone asked me all week if I was ok, and I really was. This morning saying goodbye tears flowed because of pride. I am just so proud of her. She has had to work very hard to get to this point. Life certainly hasn’t been easy…

This was not AT ALL how it went for us. My daughter…

How did this happen? What a long road we had. My daughter was born a little over a year after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
