Thanks Dan for your input. Yes, it is probably empty nest all over again with the grandbaby. Unfortunately, he also has a minor health issue in that if he gets hurt, he holds his breath and then passes out! Doctor says nothing to worry about and may last until age 6. Yikes! It happened again yesterday and scared the beejeepers out of me. So although they can afford child care, all of us are a bit worried to turn him over to someone else.
I can only hope that my husband will reconsider and come with us, as that would really be the best alternative. We shall see what happens. Again, thanks for caring enough to post!
