I can't imagine how that must feel especially when the grandkids are baby's

Your Thoughts Please
Like some that will post their responses, we have the best of both worlds. We bought here in 2014 but maintained our Ohio home. We were still 100 miles from our son and his family, so seeing the grandkids was a once-a-month (if that) trip. We then sold that home and moved within five miles of the family, to where now we can see the kids as often as we want. We stay five months in Ohio and seven months in Florida. Typical "snowbirds" but with Florida resident credentials.
