I just talked to my dad on the phone, he is on a work trip in chicago this week. He told me he's had an exciting week, they announced that the Vice President of IT position is open (or something like that), and then the President of the company took my dad aside and asked him to consider the job. This is great news! But...(of course there's a but), the job is in San Antonio, Texas and we live in Minnesota. I don't live at home anymore, but my 3 brothers spend 2 weeks with mom and 2 weeks with dad every month, and my sister lives with my dad. My dad and I are very close, and the thought of him moving away seriously breaks my heart. I want him to be happy, but I am scared of having him so far away. He said he would see if he could go there 2 weeks and come back to MN 2 weeks (that would be strange). I said that with an IT position you'd think he could tele-commute, or just do the job from here in MN. I don't know what to think, I don't want to be selfish, but the thought of my dad moving cross country brings tears to my eyes!
