We too moved from Richmond ( Manakin-Sabot) went through the guilt trip.
Were told we were abandoning the family, how could we leave. Well they are very busy kids and we did not see them that often. Now when they come down it is a concentrated time and really fun. They are now on board with the move as for friends they were very supportive from the beginning, sad that we left but happy for us. We return several times a year and the visits are really nice.
We have never looked back since the move and thank our lucky stars that we are in TV.
Welcome aboard, good to have you here.
