My folks went through a similar situation - they had been living in Haines City, Florida (about 15 min. north of Winter Haven) for about
three years when Mom went back
to N.H. to sell our house in '83 -
they sold the Florida house about
six years later and moved back to
N.H. because Mom wanted to be
with her grand-kids ! Also, Dad loved Florida, but Mom ? Not so much !
He was loathe to move back north, but knew that he'd never again have any peace if they stayed !

I know that feeling Mist. Bug n I planned on moving close to OBX when we retired. After two grandsons n us raising Brody I knew Pa was as far as we'd get away from the kids. 26 miles to one 30 to the other. We sold the house in MD. Thank goodness 😂

I would have retired in Punta Gorda after selling the house in Illinois and told the kids to bring the grandkids to Florida to see their grandparents. I know, easier said than done. I've known people who have moved or stayed put to be closer to grandkids. In some cases, they don't see them anymore than if they had moved away. Good luck with your Christmas in Florida.
Well, we can only assume you were well compensated for your loss of the use of Punta Gorda property. I too had to uproot and move. We were well compensated and since we've been inour new location for almost 5 months, it is beginning to feel like home. You will always adjust. Just Sayin....RJS

My wife and I had a Summer home (we called it camp) that we just sold about a year ago. I understand the feelings.. hated to see it go, but knew it was the best choice.
