These decisions are not easy but I would take comfort in that your children want to be there for you. In the end, family is what's most important.

Best wishes for your optimum health.
My father passed away some years ago, but my mother turned 90 in October. She still keeps her own house and still drives. My sister lives near-by and gives a helping hand, but my mother is determined to keep her own life until she absolutely cannot. I'm glad my sister lives by her, and while they spend a good deal of time together, she's not dependent on her. I hope I have half her energy when I reach 70 as she does at 90!
