Thanks everyone for all the sweet comments! Your good wishes have been working -- so far, we haven't killed each other!
Hillary: To answer your question, I'm a big fan of stalking Craigslist. Mark calls me a Craigslist maniac. Just get on the mission and don't back down. Put in your location and price, save that link in your "favorites," and then keep refreshing all day long and call/email as soon as you find a place worth seeing and try to see it ASAP (before someone else snags it). We found this place in 7 days, but I was calling and seeing places for 7 days before that -- and by that time I was able to tell what was good/bad, what we liked/disliked, the dealbreakers, etc -- esp since I was searching for 2 different tastes. Hope this helps!

Welcome to a safe place where we can share thoughts about having a parent who is sick or has passed away. Join the circle. I promise you'll leave feeling lighter and less alone.
Hi! I'm Sally's daughter, Marisa. Sally had a loud laugh and a love for life. She fought a tough battle with pancreatic cancer and passed away in 2002. I hope you'll join Sally's Circle, a safe place where we can share thoughts about having a parent who is sick or who has passed away. I promise I'll always listen.
