[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Congratulations on your bigt adventure!  The main thing, I would think, is 
that your daughter will take her cues from you.  If you are upbeat and 
excited about the opportunities and changes, she will be, too.

Maybe you could take along a picture of your dad, so your little girl can 
see it.  And maybe practice having her talk to him on the phone, even before 
you move, so she gets used to it.

Good luck,
Jo Elizabeth
