[quote=Anonymous]My paternal grandparent's moved south after retirement, in 1970. Their children lived in three different places at the time and all three moved to a different part of the country at least once after my grandparents moved. Eventually, two (my two Uncles) moved to northern Virginia. So, my grandparents moved closer to them when they were in their 80’s. One Uncle ended up moving south after retirement, my grandmother was still alive (she lived to 99). My parents moved south after retirement, they never lived in the DMV. After my mom died and my father got sick with what was his last illness, we moved him to our house. No one expected the grandparents to provide ongoing care. It just wasn’t a thing. Everyone needs to figure out their own lives and no one is guaranteed to stay in one place. [/quote]
