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

Your Thoughts Please
It is incredbly hard, especially if young grandchildren that you saw frequently. I’ve wanted to return as soon as we moved in, but my husband wanted to stay. The compromise - we keep Allegiant in business either me flying back each month, or flying them here. That’s a lot of trips / money back and forth and still missing time with all inbetween.
Think hard about that before you commit.
In a do-over we would have thought harder over what most important and gotten our priorities straight — stayed and come here winter.
