Hugs to Nanci2539 and oshunluva.
I know just how you are feeling. It seems so overwhelming leaving family, parting with special pieces from your life and leaving friends. I have been struggling with it for about a year.
My husband will not be retiring when we move to TV and I will be alone several days a month. I will not have to shovel snow, scrape windshields and be soooo cold. I can get out and meet people and garden , swim and walk virtually year round. Those are the reasons I finally decided it was time to make the move. My husband couldn't be happier. He gets to worry less about what I am dealing with and come home to a warm climate instead of the cold.
Even my son is getting adjusted to the idea, he has changed his mind just recently. Now he agrees it is time for us to move. Plus he gets a few of the pieces I will not be taking with us. A bonus it turns out. ;D ;D
