Wife and I where never blessed with grandchildren and wondered about people here in Florida that just pulled up stakes and left their sons, daughters and young grandchildren some were miles out of state.

Do you feel a void part of your life by missing them dearly and being part of their lives?
Do you wish you lived closer to enjoy them besides a occasional phone call or visit?

Cheers!
I recall feeling some trepidation about that particular subject before moving here. Minnesota and Florida are miles apart in just about very respect. But no problem! My wife predicted that we'd be seeing our families on a pretty regular basis. She was right. We've had more relatives visiting us here than we ever have had in Minnesota.
