    We can’t afford to. We also both have elderly mothers who are still living on their own but may not be for long. My mother is 82. Hers is in her late 70s and has lupus.

        I agree, however, the further we get into Illinois, the further away we get from our mothers.

        Also, the closest Illinois towns to us are Marshall, Paris and Casey and I don’t know if I could take living in a town as small as any of those.
