re: How do you deal with the guilt of living far away from your aging parents?

When my aging father re-married as a widower and moved 4 hours away, I bought his house and kept his room the same. Several years later he moved back down to our hometown and was right around the corner from me. The last 2 years of his life, the quality of life decreased greatly but we were able to watch Atlanta Braves games on tv together. He passed over a year ago and I am so thankful we were able to spend that time together in his last few years. When they are gone, you realize the time you spent with them wasn’t enough.
