We moved them from TX to So.FL last summer to be closer to extended family, visited with them for Christmas, now my parents will be flying back the end of the month...this may be a permanent thing. My dad is having a hard time dealing with my mom, dont know if its just her reluctance on leaving the house or mild dementia or her health. We will see. She absolutely refuses any outside help to cook, clean, etc. so he's been helping (always has). He misses his greeter-job at Walmart and his gardening. Family in So.FL have their own lives so they havent seen much of them anyway. Our home is big enough to subdivide, they can have the large master bedroom and master bath (which has a walk-in shower for my mom) we can live in the other side of the house that has 2 large bedrooms and a smaller bedroom and the den plus the hall bath. Big plus, he has 4 acres to tinker with. We offered this to them before they made the drastic move to FL, but mom was set to go. I think he has stopped doing what SHE WANTS and is starting to do what SHE NEEDS. (So glad we put in the wheelchair ramp last year.)
So we will see what this new adventure will bring.
Praying.
