Meet The Parents
It was a very happy occasion for mine and Patti’s parents when we had moved back to NY from Nashville in June of 2004. Then, when my brother Justin followed suit and also went back to NY I remember by father saying how happy he was that he would never have to make that “horrible drive” again!
Well, of course, Patti and I moved back to Nashville in May of this year and just a few weeks ago, my brother Justin again did the same. Of course, he left with hardly a Honda Civic full of belongings, was sleeping on the floor and wearing the same three days worth of clothes over and over and over again! So, it was inevitable that my father and mother would again make that “horrible drive” to bring Justin a few of his things!
I would never try to tell anyone how to live their life… After all, I am not exactly a big fan of people telling me how to live mine! But, my parents talk pretty frequently about how difficult it has become living in the Hudson Valley on a fixed income with taxes soaring, not to mention medical expenses and the fact that a significant number of their friends and family members (including Justin and I) have moved out of the area. That said, I can’t understand why they won’t consider moving to Nashville. I mean, come on, I’m here! –lol-
Seriously, we had a nice few days together. I was able to get Wednesday off, which enabled me to spend some time with my folks. Although they were quite tired and needed to rest off and on through out the day, it was still time well spent. They even got to be a part of our Soultuary meeting on Tuesday night!
I really hope that they might consider moving here. I really think it would be a huge financial coupt for them and it would be so nice to have them in the neighborhood again!
But, they had to return… and in fact they did so with my son Ray-Ray in tow! Since Patti’s parents are planning on coming down for Thanksgiving and I’ll be away for 18 days before then, it was just beneficial to all parties involved.
I love my family and want the best for them. My wife and children, as well as my parents and my brother. Thank God for family.
