I’m just thrilled that my parents are finally going to be close again
My wife and I have been trying to get my parents to move for 10 years. Every time we visit, we bring pictures of the beach, the sun, and the waves. My wife and I moved to Sarasota, FL, shortly after college. My wife got a job working at a Sarasota, FL business, and I took a job teaching at the Tampa Bay Community College. We had two kids very quickly, and then we were stuck. My parents rarely visited, because they live in New Hampshire. As they got older, the visits became fewer and fewer. My wife and I tried to visit once a year, but our schedules often made it impossible. Last weekend, my parents told us that they were going to be moving to FL. My wife and I are ecstatic and over the moon. The kids are really happy too, because they rarely see them now. They are going to get a place in North Port, FL. In fact, they have a date to meet with a realtor next weekend. They were calling to tell us that they will be in town. My wife and I begged them to stay at the house, instead of a hotel. We can’t wait to hear all about the new place. I’m just thrilled that my parents are finally going to be close again. They haven’t been here to visit in at least five years, and I have missed them a great deal. Even though North Port, FL is still an hour away, that’s going to feel like next door.
