[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not move!  I had just bought a new house to move closer to my parents this summer. 2 weeks later my seemingly perfectly healthy mom was diagnosed w/ cancer & lived only 2 more mos. I would give anything for my kids to have lived near her for even a few months. No pay raise is worth giving up the chance to live by your family.[/quote]

SoCal PP 2-year transplant here.  To this PP, I want to say, I am really sorry this happened to you and it must have been terrible.  I worry about this a lot because my own 88 year old mom, who has had cancer twice and has a titanium femur now, has been in the hospital back in CA since May, and we moved in August.  Very hard to do, many tears, and I worry if she will live through the two years.

To the OP, I want to say that this is a risk I took to support my DH.  My mother gets this.  My mother did come for Thanksgiving (a nurse drove her to LAX; we hosted her for 1.5 weeks and a nurse picked her up back at LAX).  Interestingly, her plan to come out here for Thanksgiving, which she started concocting in September, was a big driving force in her getting well enough to actually execute her plan.  It became her obsession and she was a model patient (she's a retired nurse and thus, not the best patient at times).  That's more than she's traveled in years! She's coming up with her next travel plan to DC right now.

Now, on to OC area.  As I wrote in another post where that OP was considering Irvine, OC is really nice.  I think it's great for you to check it out.  I'm glad you are trying to keep an open mind, OP![/quote]
