Enjoy your parent's, wisdom and input in your life--and the lives of your children. My dad died at the age of 78, but my mom lived to 92--and we had a long path that eventually led to Parkinson's and Alhzimer's, but we also many years, many trips, and many good times along the way. I enjoyed reading parts of your blog. Your family pic is warm and inviting. ~Carol D.

I loved the day I realized that my parents and I had transitioned over to "friends". I look forward to the day that we can spend time together more regularly. Another fabulous post Sharon.
