I just wonder if she will be homesick. Being the oldest daughter, Michael played a role in the younger children' s lives for awhile. I wonder how hard it will be being away from her Mom. They were so close.Just as Erin and Alyssa had to adjust to a quiet home and learned to fill it with their younger family members, Michael will need to do the same. I wonder how she will fill her time. It must be so difficult to relocate. I think it is fun to start out as newlyweds being totally alone relying on yourselves, but isn't it really hard being so far away from family? I think Erin and Zach were wise staying in Tennessee, close to family. It's good for the younger children too. The grandchildren can visit their grandparents often. It makes a stronger bond. I knew both sets of my grandparents well and I knew and played with my cousins. It was nice.
