Life revealed what awaits a bad decision before I made it. One that almost everyone I’ve “chosen as family” has tried to stop me from making, thus far.
So… yeah.
Life also brought some new doctors and teachers into my son’s life that we can’t walk away from just yet. I wanted to set out to find those resources for my kids. Now, the reasons I was leaving no longer exist.
At this point I don’t see an immediate “need” of why we should move away. Other than Vitamin D, but… I do drink more milk and take vitamins. So… is that point even relevant?
The kids, their dad’s, and I would all prefer for us to be snowbirds. We’ll migrate to my mom’s for the coldest part of the winter. Plus, we’re still close to Boston!!!
If I move anywhere, Boston and West Virginia are my top choices.
I’m sorry, but there’s no way I can go back to Oregon to live. I chose (nearly) this exact location when I was 10, bawling my eyes out, singing to God. I had a map and put a thumbtack in it on a place as far as I could be (in the U.S.) from the cold, hard floor where I sat.
Life brought me here.
I didn’t even have to pay for gas.
It seems silly to turn back. I’m now contemplating the immediate need of shutting up and working with HUD to buy a home (within this region) for my kids to grow up in.
