I've asked my sisters and brothers and the reaction is mixed. What do you think?

Response from Happinow: I'm not a basket case (yet). Just wondered if others felt more anxious as the move got closer. Want to make sure I'm "normal".

Sometimes, dear Hap, your posts are not exactly "happy" and perhaps it is time to get some therapy. You could ask the therapist the questions you obviously are struggling with - having children and such.
We all want you to be happy - now and in the future. Your posts often don't come across as sounding too happy. A therapist could help you - and you could find out from a professional if you are "normal".
We are older, some of us. We have found out that money and material things don't bring happiness. We all wish you happiness...now and in the future.
