[quote=Anonymous]My siblings and I were raised by our grandmother and great grandmother, there were five generations at one time, for about ten years. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed when my youngest was six months old. I think life, as one gets older, becomes less about "traveling the world" and more about spending time with your immediate family (who are logistically close, too). No one cares about your checked boxes, or what you were not able to do when your DH was alive. Your legacy should be how you cared for and treated your family, ideally. Growing up, we walked to our grandmother's and cousins homes, several times per week, and we lived with our great grandmother. If you are competent and caring, that goes a long way in enriching your family, and your life. Not everyone has that. Traveling the world is great, but not if you barely make time for your grandkids.
