Hi Baby Girl, How are you doing? Please let me know what’s going on. I know you aced your interview but are you sure you are ready to move? I know how hard change can be. I’m with you all the way in whatever you decide. I had a 5 month old little baby when your dad and I called it quits and it sure didn’t feel good. Somehow we plod ahead and everything falls where it is supposed to. Life is good even when you don’t feel it so be really good to yourself, make a decision and move on and don’t look back. As long as there is breath in me you will never be alone and even when I go to the great beyond I will be with you always. You are stuck with me!!! HahHah! Enjoy the day and the ride home. I love you always. Love, MAW

My mom sent me a similar email a year ago on the last day of my first big boy job and right before I moved across the country for a new job. Damn moms and their sensitivity and making you get teary and crap. :)
