When I told my daughter about considering the move to a retirement community in Florida and how guilty I felt for wanting her to come with me, she told me something that made it so much easier. "Mom, if it was me who wanted to move to someplace where I could make friends and have fun, you'd tell me to go for it so long as you were convinced I'd thought it out. I'm young. I have a whole life to find my way. It's your turn to have some fun in life. You raised me and did a good job. You'll be there when I need you. Let's start packing."

For such a young woman, she can be very wise. Take those words to heart. I did. At least on this occasion, she was right.
