9. I understand wanting to live near the kids.

My son is currently in a PhD program in astronomy. He'll be done when he's done, and will hopefully find a permanent job after that. We've already briefly discussed that neither of us wants to live in certain states, and are very much on the same page with that. He's in Fairfax, VA (George Mason University) and has no idea at this point where he'll wind up.

I'm in Santa Fe, NM, and if he makes it to this state, or Arizona, or Colorado (all reasonable possibilities) I would stay put where I am, until I need to go into assisted living. Otherwise, I'll relocate to be closer to him, because (especially since the Pandemic and its restrictions) I don't like being so far away from him. And all of you reading this with grown children understand.
