They are moving and living and moving and living.
My parents lived in the same area all of their married lives
My in laws moved to their place when the kids were young.
Some say Andy of Mayberry
I say it was a fluke.
Moving is in our blood
From getting on those ships to work for free in the new land
to sailing the sea to be a mail order bride.
Both sides had periods of moving when spouses died
or religion was repelled.
It is all an adventure
it is a way of moving forward
not satisfied with just staying
Migrants in a beautiful land.
Last week eleven of us were together
Kids, dogs, adults
Topics ranged from: cancer
Unbelievably one was already fighting that fight
to careers
Whether a job change is the best way to move forward
to kids
Now that the middles are in elementary--what do good schools look like
to houses
What finishes are important to the younger set vs grab bars for us.
to locations
Do you look for your dream location mid career
to continuing education
How to save for your kids' college when you are still going
to potty training and navigating pre teens.
In the end, my husband and I decided that we can live anywhere
and still be at peace that our children are loved
and we are respected for our input
but they can make good decisions on their own.
It is OK to move forward.
