My mom fell in love with a (fantastic) man who lived in Chicago (we lived just outside of Geneva). I was 5. When I was 8, we moved to Chicago ("for 1 year"). My father still lived (still does today) in Switzerland, but I moved with Maman to the States anyway. I went back every summer and every Christmas. Yes, there were YEARS of weird daughter-father crap, but nothing that wouldn't have been there anyway. My point is this, if Tadpole loves you the way that I love my Maman, moving a "short" train ride away from Daddy won't be that terrible. Take a few years to think about it, as I'm sure you will. But in the end, Tadpole also deserves the happiest Mum on the planet. Always, Estelle Petite:

A stifling Paris metro does absolutely nothing to remind you of this though. Chin up, petite, you're doing great.
