I am happy but I'm not

Sometimes I don't understand why things happen the way that they do. Shortly after we decided to build, my mom decided that she was going to move. One of her brothers lives in Missouri and another one just moved there, so my mom and step dad have decided that they are going to move there as well.
I understand some of the reasons, and I am trying to be happy, but I lived a lot of years with out my mom and I don't want to do it again. We have built a great relationship and I just don't want her to leave again.  I know she says that we can visit, and that she will come and visit, but that will only last for a little while.
I know that my holidays will free up and that is the only good thing that is going to come from this.
Its hard when I think back as a little girl and the way I used to feel when she wasn't around. I missed her. I wanted her near me so I could have that relationship with her. I thought about her all the time and wondered if she was dead and I just didn't know it. I am happy for her but on the same hand I am not excited to lose her.

Just wanted to say "I love ya"! you won't be losing your mom - you know where she is this time, you can call, write, visit, etc.. you didn't have that before. Heavenly Father gave y'all a chance to reconnect and repair bridges and now your relationship can handle this sort of separation, as hard as it may seem. Hang in there - you're so creative that I'm sure you'll find multiple ways to stay connected and continue to get to know each other!
