the sisterhood

Why do we stay where we are or go somewhere new? By free will, for those of us who are lucky, or by force, for too many others. So really, I'm lucky. I'm moving to Toronto because it's a wonderful opportunity for my husband and most likely for my children. For myself, the draws are the altruistic ones of seeing my loved ones benefit (in the long term, that is; the kids would argue about any positives accruing to them at the moment) and greater proximity to my extended, natal family. I'll be closer to my parents and my sisters, but not all that close which is frustrating. On the other hand, you have to be careful what you wish for. Maybe not too near is best.
