Thank you for starting this interactive conversation.
I am single and have been urged by a family member to make a move near one of my two children who are both on the East coast and I live in the Midwest. I have been downsizing my household contents during this past year. I know that my friends won’t be here forever, however some of my apprehension is that I would have to start all over again building new friendships, never easy.
I love my large yard however it will be too much for me in about five years or so. Also, my home is split level and I have no problem navigating it now, and I try to stay in the here and now but, at the same time, there is a realism that this may not always be the case. Reading others thoughts is helpful, thanks.
