Hey all- I haven't been here in a while- how is everyone?

So I'm moving to Oregon from Memphis,TN in about 19 days. This will be my first major move...I'm starting to feel it. I've lived here with my parents (that is to say that I live in the same city as my parents) my whole life. So now I'll be 2400 miles away from the 'rents and my adorable 10 year old twin brothers. I raised those boys when my parents were in the pits and they absolutely idolize me. I'm finding it increasingly harder to bear the thought of not being there when they need me...I feel like a parent abandoning his child. Either way, I have to do this for me. I'm going to finish out my degree at U of O and get a good job out west where there is some demand for a wildlife biologist. So, I'm not changing my mind about moving, but I don't know how to get past the sheer and utter grief that's occupying me. It's hard for me to even pack my stuff without getting incredibly depressed. It's to the point now where it's getting hard to breathe. Like I said, I'm not going to cancel the move, but I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a way to focus on the positive. Maybe someone has gone through this sort of situation before? Any and all help is appreciated. Have a good day everyone.
