Just went through the same move and emotions that you are going through. We are also from your area in VA, we lived in Glen Allen. We moved here in August and as hard as the move was, its so worth it. We left our kids, grandchildren and my parent's also, that was and still is difficult. No doubt about it, packing and moving is no fun, but it does keep your mind busy.
Once you get here and get settled you will see what a great choice it was to move here.
Every day there is something to do and the people that you are going to meet are the best. Most of us here are in the same situation, moved here and family elsewhere, so you have lot in common with all.
A new friend that I have from The Villages taught me something that she learned in life and that is "The Hell with Guilt". Do this move for yourself and enjoy everything that The Villages has to offer!
BTW...what Village are you moving into?
