Of course it was difficult to leave my kids and grandkids behind, but the plan was for frequent visits from FL to NJ, where 3 of my kids live, and from FL to TX where another was living. Then COVID hit and everything changed. My kids were not happy that I was moving, except for my daughter-in-law, and not for the reason you might think. She said it was the only way she would get my son to FL. Fast forward four years and my TX daughter has moved to Orlando and my son is moving his business to FL and house hunting. My daughter-in-law is thrilled! That brings half of my kids closer to me. I am thankful for FaceTime until I get visits. Before you completely abandon the idea of moving here, remember this…If their job took them out of state you would be there without them. It’s a very mobile society. Hopefully we will be past travel restrictions soon. All of that being said, my 8 grandkids are growing so quickly and I know I have missed out on a lot. Good luck to you.
