Wow, that has to be really hard. My wife and I decided to move to a city that is about fifteen minutes in the middle from each of our parents to my parents are east and her parents are west. It works out pretty well as they are getting older and need more stuff done. It will be good to have your mom closer.
Yep, it will be nice to have her closer by... but not too close! And it is good that she decided to do it before it got too difficult.
Haha, I hear you!
