Roseanne, is your daughter your only child? Or would you be leaving other children or grandchildren behind? I think you have some real soul searching to do. We moved away for 15 years from the snow...not away from my kids. But moved back to the snowy area. I really did miss it. I love the winters especially the snow. I know I am probably crazy to say that. We have 2 of our 3 children and 2 of our 5 grandchildren that live within 3 miles of us. Our other daughter lives about 350 miles away with 3 of our grand children. She makes it a point to come and visit us often.
good luck with your whatever you decide. crafty_linda_b
