I think it made our older daughter sad for awhile and our almost adult grandchildren, but we said to them, we are close to seventy, if we don't do it NOW, when will we do it? We would like to go where we can be busy and involved and be with our peers. You are working and going to school and we hate to leave you but our home will always be your home too.
It was very HARD to see their sadness, very hard and almost a deal breaker.
I think with Skype it is a little easier.
They just love you, but need to love you a little harder now and a little more unselfishly.
