We will be moving back to Ohio at the end of March. To be 100% honest, i don't really feel that into moving, but I can't stay here either. My Dad should be surrounded by people who love him. He shouldn't gp through this alone, and I am his "little girl". We have started looking for jobs...my dh's company has lots of openings out there so we keep our fingers crossed. I should be able to find a store pretty close that will take me, too, but not the store i came from...they are losing business because a supercenter opened up 15 miles away. I will just stay on part time, because the money is good. We won't have to pay rent for a few months, so hopefully this won't kill us financially. I know I would regret it if we stayed here..I went throught those feelings of guilt right after my mom died, but our daughter's therapy had just begun back then, so we had to stay. Now it's almost over, so it makes sense to go. we are not overly attached to Wisconsin anyhow, without friends or family here.
So in a way, i am breathing a small sigh of relief, because a decision has been made, at least, and now I have something to focus my energy on. This is hard, but there will always be bumps in the road. Heather

Heather,


I am so glad that you were able to decide what to do.

All my best,
Danni

Hi, Heather. Am glad you were able to make your decision, to be there for your father. You will be in familiar territory somewhat, and the memories will give you priceless treasures. Are you doing the moving van thing? Are you going to have a garage sale before you move? Wishing you the best. Whiz.

Heather - I know how this was difficult for you with all different angles to think of.

Thanks, Danni : )
I'm starting to get stuff done, and am in official move-mode.

HI, whiz,
My dh and i rent a ryder and move ourselves. the most difficult things we have to move this time around are our washer and dryer. We won't have a garage sale before we move (too cold, no garage), but we might just have a yard sale in the summer. you are right...it is familiar territory, but unfamiliar in so many ways too. Thanks so much for the encouragement, heather

Yep, Becky,
Once I make a decision, I can pick myself up, dust myself off and get going. Before the decision is made is definitely the most difficult for me. I fought so hard to get my dauhgter's therapy extended...we didn't even know that it was approved until mid- january, and here we are now, not able to use it. but things will work out, one way or another.
