Wonderful response!!!
I just don't know how they manage to be so clueless? It seems that after raising kids of their own they ought to know we need some positive words rather than that other blather.
Myranda has always told me that she wants to keep living close to me too when she grows up. Now??? Well, I think she's wanting to take this opportunity to be in Germany while it's available and I can see that. And when she was planning to go to San Antonio in the fall she had asked me if I would look for a job there so I guess I'm not out of favor - just not included in the German adventure. That's okay. That one I can live with. As long as her sister doesn't rub off too much.
