I've been keeping DH very involved with open discussion about his pending move to the Homestead site at the foot of the hill.

When we spent last Friday together hauling lumber, at one point he was choking up when I was talking about the move. I had to pull over to try to get him to tell me what was wrong. Was it just that he didn't really want to go or that he didn't like the site I picked or what. He actually said that he wanted me to go there with him. :hugsPoor guy.

I then went rambling on about how this move was going to be a very good thing for both of us and kept telling him, "you're not getting rid of me so easy, mister". You'll still be coming home once a week to spend the day with me, I'll still come get you at least one morning a week to walk in the fields with the dogs, and take you on shopping runs, etc. That calmed him down and made him smile. I then stopped outside the house he'll be moving to and pointed to the window that will be his bedroom and told him how I'd come get him and look how close it is to home. You'll have two homes soon.

I hope that sticks with him because he'll be moving in on Memorial Day and that's coming up fast. This is going to be hard for both of us and I don't know what else I can do to make it easier for him. But not doing it is going to kill me I think. I had just a little taste of me being me that day I was moving the lumber and I felt so good again for a little bit of time.
You will both be fine after getting used to the new situation. :hugs
And you can spend time together any time you want, as the new place is so near.

I'm trying to make him understand that. I also didn't sugarcoat the fact that initially it will be hard. We will both have to get used to this new arrangement.

It must be so difficult. Like when we were living in Mom's house and she was in the nursing home. I had to lead her to the car, holding her arm, after a visit. She was very much a home body.
 
Its 32 out with an expected 10F increase today.
Similar here today. Spit snow some as well. Swapped out the snow tires on the Leaf.

I finally figured out that she was looking for our grand daughter. On the last visit she came along, and Maggie and her played for an entire weekend.
Did they forget to pack the granddaughter???
