Florida is going to be up shit creek without

83. You know what love, we are now the adults in the room

Don't persuade them. Tell them that this is what is going to happen. Arrange their tickets and tell them to get the hell on the plane. I have to do this with my mother every day. No you are not going to the shop, no you are not going to the pharmacy, someone in the family will pick it up. They can be stubborn old buggers, but they are our old buggers and we want them round for as long as possible. Take control and tell them to get their wrinkly old arses north, right now. Demand it. Command it. And I don't know your parents, but I know my Dad (who is dead now) was the most stubborn of men - but when I did that - in the 2008 crisis about his pension - he did exactly what I said. Of course he then said it was all his own idea

You need them home safe and sound. Good luck love. I am so pleased I know where my mother is. I feel so sorry about the weight of your worry right now.
