Preposition "to"

Can I omit the underline 'to' in the following sentence?

" what makes me feel lucky today is having you all to come back to ."

If it is acceptable, what is the difference between the original sentence and the later sentence?

many thanks in advance.

Yes. You can and you should. UNLESS your "to" is a mispelling of "too" - in which case "too" would be, arguably, fine.

Should I ?

I found out the original sentence from my English textbook written by american.

so I thought it had some difference in meaning from the later sentence.

is it a wrong sentence?

Yes. I dare say it is a typographic error. A "typo".

Cheers :-)

No, you cannot remove the last "to". Original reply is incorrect: he did not understand the meaning of the sentance. "having you all to come back to" means "being able to come back to you all". The same "to" is underlined. The expression is "come back to" something, meaning "reyturn to" something.
