Great to hear from you.
Do have plans for your retirement? What's on your schedule? I realize that you will be taking care of your mother, but what will you be doing to take care of yourself and to keep busy?

When my late husband retired at 55, I wondered what he would do with himself. Within a few months of his retirement, he said that he couldn't figure out how he had found the time to work a regular job; as he had rekindled an interest in restoring old tractors (circa 1950s)...and then of course his trusty wife also had things for him to do .

Hope that you enjoy your freedom and that your move goes well, when the time comes.

With love, Erika
