I've lived all over during my military career...was fortunate to end up where I wanted at the end of it. I think I can say that I found things to like at each of the various places I lived that made them special and will remember them for that. Really kind of hard to have it all and keep multiple places and bounce between them all...would have to win that Powerball...
All the moves also meant not being close to family. I'm glad to have had my brothers back in Wisconsin to be close enough to help out my parents in time of need. Zina, I'm glad your Mom is on the road to recovery...hopefully this small delay will give you time to plan and make the coming visit that much more special!
