With four amazing adult children and seven lovely grandchildren, my family has always been my rock.

While it seemed like an exciting new chapter, the reality was tougher than I expected.<\/h3>\n<h3>The distance from my children and grandchildren hit me hard, and I found myself struggling to adjust.
