AMEN! I'm 75 with both parkinson's and rheumatoid arthritis. My husband and I are two years out from moving to a retirement home that we have selected. This establishment is 50 miles from my only son and his wife. They objected at first but now they have a newborn and are more realistic about their energy and resources. I started last year getting rid of "stuff" and will continue to do so until we close the doors behind us. Our assets are in a trust. Our will needs re-doing but that's easy enough.

You see, I'm doing what my parents did. They decided, as I am deciding where I will be and what will happen. Any discussions remaining will be pleasant ones so that I can enjoy my grandchild and friends as I can.

Other than that, bring on the bubble wrap!
