That is great advice, Maybell. Thanks.

I'm actually messaging with a friend on the west coast right now-- her kids are older, but she's got a great community and is excited for us to come. I'll figure out the details, I'm sure of it. And I have that go-go trolley thing!

I also have friends within driving distance that we could visit, maybe over the summer.

I think I'm getting worked up because I'm finding myself trying to recreate the life that I had with H (the family and friend trips to resorts, etc). But I have to let go of that. And just because MY life with D may look different than her life with H (my parents will never ever go on a beach vacation, for ex), that doesn't mean I can't give her a great life, too.

As you always say, all will be well.
