I was born in California, but grew up in Michigan’s Thumb (sic for that big “T”). So 94 miles as the Ford drives. At 14 my mother’s second marriage resulted in a move to an urban suburb, and since then I’ve lived in Germany, Canada, Mexico (three times!), and China, so I’m not unsophisticated; I like it here.
About three miles.
From where I grew up?
2484 miles. Redondo Beach, CA to Moncks Corner, SC
From where I was born?
899 miles.
Chicago to MC.
Sort of the same, Left home young, attended college and got a degree, moved from Rochester NY to Virginia Beach Va with a guy that turned out abusive, so I left him. Met and married a guy, we moved to Groton CT and while we still own property there, it is being cleared out so we can sell it in December because mrAru is quitting his job in CT, moving to Caledonia NY into my house, then we are flipping it and moving to western NV.
See, my brother got divorced about 20 years ago and moved back in with my parents. My Dad passed, then 3 years ago my brother passed, and I moved back in so I could be around to do paperwork and such for my mom who was then in a managed care facility. She passed 2 years ago … leaving me the last person standing, so I get everything.
Though my Brother moved into what had been my room [his had been turned into a sewing room] so when mrAru and I started coming to visit more, the sewing room got a double bed and the dresser and closet cleared out so we could keep some stuff here, so technically I am currently sitting in what was my brother’s room, my brother’s room is currently where we have a friend living to take care of the place when I am not around and mom’s room is full of odds and ends. We are planning on clearing out and renovating Mom’s room with the furniture we are staging the place to sell, then we are renovating all the other rooms and furnishing with the stuff we plan on using to stage with. All the stuff moving to nevada with us is getting packed up and stashed in a storage locker, everything not coming with us is getting auctioned off =)
I live 25 miles or less from all 4 houses I’ve lived in.
According to Google Maps, I now live 9.9 miles from the house I grew up in. The farthest I have lived from it, again according to Google, is approximately 10,254 miles.
Geographically, about 2.5 miles. By road and bridge, about 15 minutes.

900 miles on the nose according to google maps.
