Question #1: "For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?"
Yes, if the reasons for moving were very important. Now if the reason was "just because" then I would probably have to give it more thought.
In this day & age, with all of the technology at our hands-I think it would still be very tough to move far away, but as long as there was still some way to maintain contact with them-I think I could handle the move. I would also have to assume that eventually new friendships would develop in this new place so it might not be such a lonely move in the end, but those old friendships & family connections would still mean a great deal to me.
I also realize that I would not have these exact same family & friend connections that I would be leaving behind if my own ancestors & theirs had not made this very same difficult decision many, many years ago themselves.
So, what are your thoughts please :)

Depending on how long the move would last, where I was moving, danger, etc.
Being a military wife, I know I could handle the separation from both ends.
Carrie,
You and your family were definitely in my thoughts when I read this question & typed this post.
I hope everything is going okay!
