How many of you live away from your parents?

[YosemiteSam]

My father passed away when I was nine and mom lives with me, my wife and two kids.

Respect.

I've already spoken to my parents about this and my Father intends to retire to Florida ater my brother graduates in 4 years, i'll be living at home working full time while going to college to save as much money as possible during that time no rent/etc;.

You'll change your mind about that 2nd or 3rd year into college...

How many of you live away from your parents? By away, I mean you can't just jump in a car and be there in an hour or so.

My wife has a friend who was flying back to Russia today because her mother was about to pass away. She got the dreaded phone call this morning before she even woke up to go to the airport.

I really feel bad for her. I know how she feels. I live here in NY and my entire family still lives in a Texas. My mother had cancer and lived about a year before it overcame her back in 2007. The doctors called me at night. I immediately bought a plane ticket for 6AM flight to Texas, but my phone rang at 3:14AM.

Have any of you ever experienced this?

Since mine have both been dead several years. I'm about as far away as you can get.
