[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandpa moved into a retirement community on Wednesday (Feb 1). He's 96. He stayed in the house he built 65 years ago for another year and a half after my grandma passed. It's three floors (attic, main living floor, basement with workshop and rec room) and they raised their children in it and had so many grandchildren come and go. He's also been feeding a feral cat colony out back for many years.

This is the exact right time for him to move -when he decided it was time. He will miss his wife of 67 years no matter where he goes but the winters were getting harder.

There is no reason to move at 55 or 65 or 75 if it's not time. [/quote]
This is a great story. I'm thinking about his losses,  his wife, for sure, and, yes, even the cats. He will do well in his new place,  for him, the right time. Anomalies,  both your parents,  they managed far longer than most and almost all of it together. Thinking of him. It's so hard for the one who's left. [/quote]

Awwe. I'm sure he will miss his workshop but the younger folks in the retirement community will take him under their wings.[/quote]
