Moving

Moving is such a joy I get to say bye to my home town, bye to my family and friends, bye life I know. Why are we moving? My husband is about to get out of the military and we are in military housing so we are going to need a place to stay till he finds a job and a place of our own, so moving in with my mother in-law. my husband says how he misses his home town and his family that he really has not seen much the whole six years he has been in the navy. So we have to move just over 400 miles away to a place i have only been to about 3 time and a week at a time. Joy right? The thing I know I'm going to miss the most is my oldest daughter, who long story short lives with my aunt here. I still have to tell her we are moving. I just don't know how to tell an 8 year old that mommy, daddy (he is her step-dad), sister and brother are moving so far away from her that she will not beable to see us for months at a time if not longer. What joy moving is right?
