Thank you @Cornell (Laura) for your kind words. I can relate to your sister's situation. I feel so sad to hear she lost her husband. That is a double whammy in life. I am glad she has a full life and lots of friends. And she has you and all of your siblings. My extended family is in Florida and we are in California. My DH does not want to leave California and I feel alone here. He is from Montana but only has a sister and his mom there. His mom has dementia and does not recognize him anymore. He comes from a small family and does not appreciate family. Maybe he will change his mind with time but in the meantime, I am losing precious time and critical events as my nieces and nephews grow up and my siblings age. I am the oldest. I worry if I ever move back to Florida, they will all have forgotten me. I am closest to my father and great aunt but they are elderly and won't be around in a few more years. That is really scary to think about. At least I speak to my father and great aunt weekly and that gives my life meaning. I think it will be really hard for me when they pass.
Yes Covid and my age are the perfect storm. I was hoping to celebrate a big 55 this year and that is not possible this summer. Covid is making me re-think life and what is important to me. I really want to start downsizing as much as possible. That will be one goal in the next 2 years. Then I can focus on what matters and live life simply.
