One last thing, samhass, I hope you will stay in touch with us here on TOTV, if you so desire. It would be nice to hear about your transition and how it all goes. I'm sure many of us will be in the same position some day and it's great to hear from others who have already experienced these life changes. Wishing you all the best.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. This is my home and they will take me out of my home someday in a horizontal position. In 50 years of marriage we have lived in four States. I have no desire to go back to any of them.

I am wishing I had gone north last week. My house here is on the market, and while it looks good now, I wonder if it will look the same next week. Here is the before Irma video.

Barefoot..you know me. I have always missed it. And I love the seasons. I can always escape in Feb, return in March, and winter will be its last legs. Most importantly, my family is there. I am really missing my Hu, and at this point, family is what I need.

You must have the most beautiful home in The Villages - it is absolutely stunning! Praying that Irma will inflict no damage and that the sale of your house goes swiftly and smoothly. Praying for safety for all of you good folks in TV.

I doubt you'd want to be in your huge home on Ternberry Forest Drive by yourself.
Family is what you need right now - I understand and applaud your choice.
You are going back to your home in the woods to heal. I hope your dogs bring you some comfort as you grieve.
You were very close to your husband and must miss him terribly. You had a lot of great times together.
Enjoy the seasons. You can always come back to TV for the bad-weather months, and you have friends here.
Love and hugs to you as you go through this difficult time.

My dear lady, I don't know you but I am deeply touched by your story and your friends' words. Your friends remind me of this from L. Frank Baum (The Wizard of Oz) — 'A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.' It is clear your friends love you and your husband very much. I pray you find the comfort you seek.

Your home is beautiful. I hope it sells soon.

Your home is stunning and beautifully decorated. I love the warm tones used in your home.

It won't be on the market long.

Thanks to all of you. My home has never been filled with anything but love. It has good mojo. It has been a place where friends could gather and relax in comfort..never afraid if they spill a glass of wine. This house has been lived in and loved in. Our family and friends have always enjoyed being here and we have been thrilled to have them here. The decor is not fancy..it is homey and comfy. This is a people house. It is just not the same for me since my favorite person on earth is gone. He was my home, and life will never be the same again. Hubert H Hassinger..you were the best man I have ever known and I will love you forever.

Me too - can't wait!

samhass, we wish you all the best and am sorry for your loss. Take Care.
