While we all talk about how wonderful it will be to live in TV, a lot of us, myself included, will be leaving our sisters, brothers, mother (who is 84), friends and all that we've known for 52+ years. Our hearts will be heavy for a while. But, with all of your encouragement and friendly spirits it will certainly make the transition easier. Thanks to all of you in advance.

P.S. I think I'll need a welcome wagon when we arrive! Wait, make that a welcome golf cart!!

I think it is normal for people to feel anxious about leaving a life that is so familiar to them but everyone has to do what's is right for them. It is nice to be there for when a family member needs you but you can't live your life for someone else. You will always feel discontentment. I know several people who have retired and spend their time babysitting or running errands for family members. A friend of mine once remarked, thet he was busier being retired as his daughter had him running ragged. He was not a happy camper until he moved to TV.

The people who don't understand are the one's who have never been to TV and don't know what it is all about. Once they visit, they will understand. I know I can't wait to get there.

BTW - My friends daughter owns a home in TV.
