i think my mom is serious

my mom has talked at different points about moving. At one point it was to Texas for warmer climates and to be closer to certain family members. I think she was briefly entertaining the idea of Florida to be closer to my sister. I wouldn't doubt that she has seriously thought about moving to Perú, for obvious reasons. (to me, at least) Now, she says she's going to move to Arizona. She actually has pretty decent reasons, the winters of course, and the dry weather is better for her husband's health, and he's got quite a few health issues, so I'm sure anything to benefit any of them would be appreciated.

I've never really taken her seriously, but all of a sudden she's fixing up the house, she's cleaning out the attic, she's really acting like she's ready to move. It's generating mixed emotions for me - she grew up in that house, I spent a good 10 years in that house before I left for college, and it's still home to me. I love it, it's big and beautiful, and I always imagined bringing the kids over to visit Grandma in that house. And having her babysit for me, of course. That may not happen now, and I'm not sure how to take it. She's a grownup, she can make her own decisions. All her kids are married and on their own, it's not like she and Richard need all that space for themselves (there are the cats, but still not enough to fill the place up) it's more work to keep up, etc. But we have no family in Arizona, Richard's son and daughter in-law and their baby are there, but that's one family member on his side, I've never met the guy. She'd be totally on the other side of the country from anyone else. It's far, far away and I might miss my mommy.

Ok, I guess most of my reasons for her not moving are pretty selfish, but they're still my reasons, which means they're valid and should be considered seriously.
