Those are beautiful posts, LPJ and sdsurfer. Wanting to stay in the same home for the rest of your life, watching your grandkids play in the same home in which you raised your kids…priceless!
I also grew up moving (“moving up” according to parents), while my DH’s mom still lives in the same house she grew up in. The sense of history is warm and comforting, and it’s something we want for our kids, too.
Loved the part about how much you enjoyed the sunsets and ramen noodles with your mom, sdsurfer. She sounds like an awesome woman.
Good luck on making this decision as you discuss this with your wife. Personally, I think you’re in a good place where you are. 🙂
