Should I follow Andre to Houston or stay put in NOLA near my mama and the kids?

Y'all I am torn up inside about this one. Andre (52M) got offered a job in Houston, we talking $30k more a year plus better insurance, and honestly with four kids grown and gone half the year it makes sense on paper. But that means selling the house we raised our babies in, leaving my mama (78F) who is only ten minutes away and depends on me more than she lets on, and giving up Sunday dinners the way we know them cause not everybody can drive in from Houston every week. Andre says we can build new traditions and he's tired of being the only one pushing for something different after 15 years of me running this house my way. He's not wrong that I've never once considered leaving this city. But my whole life is HERE, the church, my sister down the street, the crawfish guy who knows my order. I don't know if I'm scared of change or if I actually know what's right for my family. Andre's waiting on an answer by next week and I feel sick about it either way.
