Missing Birthday

My granddaughters turn 6 tomorrow and I'm missing their birthday. It just bums me out to no end. Again, my husband is lucky enough to have a load out that way...so he'll be in California to celebrate with them. That makes it even more tough. I talked to the girls and they both said, "Are YOU gonna' be here for my birthday Grandma?" I know I'm supposed to put God first in EVERYTHING, but why do my heartstrings tug so much? I really miss my home, my kids, my grandkids, my friends...MY LIFE back there. Self pity isn't very attractive. I need to find a way to cope. Any suggestions?

It doesn't seem fair that he wanted to move to Texas, yet he always gets to see them in California. I think he should have a grandkid fund or something for you so you can see them on special occasions!
