I live abroad and by happy circumstance by parents live very close to us (a few hundred metres away!). They have been a HUGE part of ds´ life (20months old) since he was born. He adores them and asks for Nana or Dandad all through the day. We see them most days and when we turn down their street he shouts NANA! and then wanders around after them the whole time he is there.
And now it looks like they have to return to the UK . I will miss them, but I just feel so so heartbroken for him because he won´t understand and the thought of him asking for them and not being able to go see them really gets me.
And I know he´ll stop eventually and accept they just aren´t around as much (hardly ever) anymore but I feel just as sad that he will lose that close relationship that he has with them.
They are an absolute cornerstone of our lives and I don´t know what we´ll do without them I´ve just had a big chat with my folks where they´ve laid their cards on the table and dh is out and i´ve no one to talk to about it, so I just wanted to get that out.
