I'm so torn. Happy she's getting what she wants in life...sad that she's leaving. Soon we will have an empty room in the house. I never liked going in that room...I think once she's gone I will hate it even more. Play time is over August 1. For 8 years I lived 400 miles away from her. It sucked! I cried when I moved away. And now she is the one leaving and it feels like it did all over again. The crazy part of all this is that she is only gonna be about 10 mins from my house. How come those 10 mins sound like an eternity? 
She told her grandma about moving out and the first thing grammy said was, "Don't worry. You'll still see Christie all the time." I love grandma.

Perhaps thinking of it like she's going on vacation, or going of to college might help the transition?

Consider renting it to someone else? I'm no help.
