[quote=Anonymous]My FIL passed when my wife was in college (youngest of three). My MIL worked for several more years and then retired. When she retired, she moved across the country (upstate NY to Portland, OR) to be near her, then, only grandchild. She lived about 3 miles from my BIL/SIL/nephew for just over 15 years and recently, now that my nephew is a 20-something and on his own, she moved to southern California to live in the same retirement community that her sister lives in. She feels that moving closer to her grandchild during his formative years was one of the best things she's done in her life. It was hard to uproot herself but it was so worth it. Consider trying to convince your mother that she should move closer to one of her children and grandchildren. She might find it worth the effort to be nearer to her family. If her family won't come to her, then she can go to them.[/quote]
