More and more our generation’s adult children are moving back home. To live with their parents. Our daughter moved in 3 years ago. I had mixed feelings. Of course I wanted my child back.

The Circle of Life

This month I attended the wedding of my niece. My only sibling’s daughter. She was such a beautiful bride and her husband very handsome.
