When we left North Carolina 4 years ago, I worried about the impact our move would have on my then three-year-old son. He was very close to a small group of friends, enjoyed his daycare situation so much, and I was worried that uprooting him might be too stressful. My friends and family all shared the same response to my concern: "He's so young, he won't remember a thing!" Well, four years later, he still gets teary from time to time about missing his "friends from North Carolina." Leaving the familiar for the unfamiliar is difficult for all of us.
