Not sure if my previous post went through so here goes again! We are in the same boat. Our daughter, who is 21, moved to Raleigh, NC last April so we have no children here. My 84 year old mother is here and we are her security. She calls upon us very little, but is comforted knowing we are minutes away, if needed. She is having a very difficult time with us moving, not talking about it at all. We get so conflicted because this is one of the most exciting times of our lives and we want to talk about it to everyone, especially my mom. She won't come live with us as the rest of my sisters and brothers are here. They all think we are crazy for leaving the nest before mom passes, God forbid. Our view is we have worked so hard all of our lives, raised a daughter and now it's our time to live. We are building our dream home in Sanibel on Adreinne Way, lot 29. We will be moving in June of 2012. With our minds a muck, we've come to the conclusion that life is too short and we want to live it up while we are "young." Saying goodbye will be difficult but giving where we are moving makes it much easier. Give your mind a rest and enjoy your life. Mom lived her's and now it's time to live yours. Best of luck!!
