We have two grown grandchildren, no littles---they were teens when we moved here so had grown into jobs, friends, activities that took up their time. When we'd visit they "might" breeze in between events to greet us then would be on their way. We figured we can visit when the weather turns nice up there (NOT going in winter). Covid hit and there was A LOT of rules. We had no trouble coming down here so are thankful we made the decision. IF our kids decided on a "LIFE-change" as we have---they'd go ahead and do it without wondering about "what will mom and dad think?"

This is an excellent explanation for many.
