Since my father passed on Thanksgiving weekend, I’ve been busy moving my mother to the west coast so she’s near my sister and me. Mom is getting settled in her independent, don’t call it assisted, living facility. The day after the funeral we jumped on a plane with Mom and moved her west. Since her house sold in October, she had no place to live and she didn’t want to stay in the Philadelphia area. She was staying in a respite room at the nursing home where my father was and she wasn’t interested in moving into their assisted living facility. She wanted a clean break from Philadelphia and a fresh start on the west coast. She’s been dying to move west for years but the high housing prices scared my father.

I have so much to share with you about the process we’ve been through. It’s been a real roller coaster and I’ve learned so much. I want to share as much as I can with you because most of you will be dealing with this same situation soon. I’ll be posting on a regular basis from now one.

Thanks for your support!!

Ted
