What do I wish for? I'm not sure. I'm pretty happy right now having just retired from teaching in November. I'm still in transition so I'm not sure where I'm headed.
Maybe I'll go live in Costa Rica or maybe I'll stay right here. I think at some point I want a man in my life, but not today. I guess the only rhing I really wish for Right now is for my daughter to be healthy. She has MS. I wish for us to reconcile soon.
We've been estranged for about a year now. This has been going on for several years and it's because she's not in a good marriage. I wish for my grandchildren to be okay and happy and healthy. If she could be healthy and th children okay, I'd give up everything!

Wow! I'm so sorry about your daughter Judy. MS is such a scary thing to have to deal with. I hope you are able to reconcile very soon.

It sounds like you know where you are going with your new free time. That's great!! Costa Rica is beautiful. Do you speak Spanish? Es mi especialidad de la universidad y me gusta muchisimo. Voy a viajar a Mexico este verano.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear your daughter has MS. I hope she is coping real good. Some are able to handle the varying degrees of MS differently.

I'm 52 and not quite ready to retire yet, but I look forward to it. I've worked all my life and even though driving a school bus isn't much work, I'm ready to be able to do what I want, when I want and not have to watch a clock.

I would love to have a motor home when I retire just to travel a bit. But I'd need to be able to take my Yorkies with me..couldn't stand to leave them.

Judy its so sweet of you to be willing to give up everything for your daughter's & grandchildren's health & happiness. Maybe try sending a card to her saying how much you care & not mentioning the marriage at all? It must be so hard not to be able to talk to her or spend time with your grandchildren. *hugs*

Judy, it's great to get to know you. Hope your wishes do come true and that your daughter copes with her situation as best that she can, and that you can reconcile very soon.
