Sorry to hear about your aunt but glad you got the opportunity to spend some time with her. Now you have the opportunity to continue on with your plans. I won't be at the rally but I'm sure you will learn a lot there as well on on this forum. God bless you in all your preparations.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad to hear you are moving on with your plans. The rally is a great step to learn about this journey.

We lost my mother-in-law on Feb. 23rd, one of the big advantages of FT RV'ing was our ability to rapidly reposition, spend a week with Dale's mom before she passed and then remain for a month in the area supporting Dale's Dad. Love the flexibility to be able to change plans and move our home on wheels when the need arises.

Congratulation Mary on being able to start looking towards your full-time dream. Also my condolences on your husbands aunt. Hopefully we will meet you on the road someday.

Ruth, this is pretty incredible, but our dear Aunt "Ruth" passed the very same day as your mother-in-law.  Sending my condolences your way and hoping each day is getting just a little bit easier! Please share my sentiments with Dale.

Sherry, so good to "hear" from you, and looking forward to meeting you and Jess and Bob and Lindy, as well, next month!

Terry, yes, I have a pretty good idea that my DH, Craig, will get super energized at the rally.  He has held back his dream while caring for his aunt... didn't want to put the cart before the horse.  I understood, completely, but that didn't stop him from allowing me to dream!  Craig's heart is totally into serving and helping others, so while RVing will take him away from his benevolence work here at "home", he has already said he wants to continue his work helping others and, especially, fellow RVers.  He is simply amazing.  God blessed him abundantly with the gift of "fix".  As anyone who has ever known him will say, "If he can't fix it, it's trash!"  I'm certainly a lucky gal!!!

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers. See you down the road!

So sorry to hear of your loss. We also look forward to meeting you at the spring rally.

Jo, You and Craig will soon be leaving Texas in the dust!!!

As one chapter closes, another chapter begins...

Thanks, everyone, for your heartfelt thoughts and wishes.  Each day brings its blessings and less paperwork!  (The hardest part of decluttering!!)  I'm getting there, though, and now I certainly have the time!!  The Spring rally, I think, will really be a major turning point.  We are truly looking forward to it, learning all we can, and meeting so many of you there!

Thanks,  Kim. I appreciate all the supprt on this forum. Now, if anyone here has a magic energy pill we'll take two! Trying to muster any energy after two and a half years of caregiving seems impossible.  We're giving each new day our best shot, though! 

Condolences on your loss. Feel good that you recognized that family comes first. It is difficult to put your plans aside to take care of responsibilities but sometimes we must do for others. DWs mother is living with us or we might have already put the house up for sale. Thankfully she is healthy and has a good sense of humor. That is a requirement when living with me. Not the healthy part. As long as she is with us, we will be here for her. I would take her with us in the treller but her life expectancy shortens greatly when placed in close quarters with her daughter. Since my parents are still the voices in my head, I remind DW that respect is in order. I'm sixty years old... why do I still learn every day from my folks, who have both been gone for years?
