I am so glad for you! You made the right decision. While it is true we are still healthy and do not feel as we are a burden to our children right now, we know that when the time comes we will live closer to one of our two sons.
Our sons not only expect it but encourage it.
Both my husband's parents and my mother needed to be close to us as they aged just so we could keep an eye on them. It wasn't a burden at all. In actuality it was a relief because we didn't have to worry about them so much.
Enjoy your grandchildren - both of my boys reminisce about what fun they had with their grandparents including some embarrassing times when they were teenagers - all done with love and affection.
You are a very lucky mother and grandma to be loved by many!
