For those of you in your 70's, please use this forum to

talk about everyday problems, financial matters, recommended healthy recipes,

things you enjoy doing, or whatever

you think would be good. It's like a well-wisher's meeting.

Why don't you tweet about it?

Please don't be sarcastic or cold-hearted.

There's been a lot of talk about this homecoming, but I'll have to think about it.
This area ( South Bay ) has a nice climate and I could stay until the end, but I'd have to think about it if I need nursing home care. Nursing home care is ridiculously expensive and the quality is poor.
So I think my return home will be when I need nursing care, in the sense that I will avoid nursing care. Probably in my mid-80s. I still have more than 10 years to go, so until then, this is the best place for me.
Japan borders the Axis of Evil, so it may be a way to avoid war.

He is in his early 60s. My mother is 90 years old and is in a group home in Japan. She has no dementia and her head is strong, but her legs and back are weak and she is in a wheelchair. My sister lives very close by, but she is unable to care for her at home because of her job. So I decided to return home at the end of the year to spend time with my parents until their final days. I am quite anxious to return home after 40 years in the U.S. 。。。。 I don't know how long my parents will live, but I plan to return to the U.S. after they pass away. If I still have the strength to do so, that is.

As others have written, I think I did so well because I was in the US. I was doing what I love, got married late, had a baby late...and now that my children are finally independent, I suddenly think about my mother every day.... I was supposed to return to Japan before Corona, but it was decided that foreigners were not allowed in the country, so I had to stay two years longer. It is a belated act of filial piety.

I see that each of you are going through your own difficulties. I came to the US when I was in my 20s, and I realized how much I was spoiled by my parents when I was in Japan. Immediately after coming to the US, I found a good company and learned many things. We hear that some people are worried about returning permanently not only for themselves but also for their parents. I still have worries, but as I get older, the worries of the moment come up again. I would like to do something to prepare and be prepared even now so that my worries will be a little lighter.
