Watching My Mom’s New Life

My mom and her boyfriend are thinking of moving in together in the next year or two. It’s a funny thing, when you hear something like that. I don’t know why, but I guess I’m used to hearing about the children of parents doing that. I love my mom, and am thrilled she has someone in her life that makes her feel happy and wonderful. They currently live about 30 minutes away from each other, but they see each other almost every day.

They’ll be looking for condos for sale, since they don’t want the maintenance of things like yard work and snow removal. They’ve both lived in their own homes, and both lost their spouses. My dad passed almost 5 years ago, so to see my mom happy is awesome. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m thrilled to see her connecting with someone else. Her guy is really super, so I’m thrilled. He treats her very well, and that’s what’s important to me.

I’m not sure where they’ll end up buying a condo, but I think they want to stay pretty local.
