Re: OT: to Diane C. about your dad

[Guest guest]

Thank you Diane. Being an adult child is an adjustment for both parent and

child when you are once again living under the same roof. It is such a

blessing though. I'm so thankful that you and your sister now have the

opportunity to care for your Mom and I know she feels blessed to have both

of you!

We're all very grateful to have each other; in fact, my only regret is that I

don't have more siblings to share in the big Love Fest.

I have a friend who doesn't get on with her family at all,.... ANY of them,...

and I so feel for her. Makes me feel grateful I've always had pretty good

relationships with my family, and they're getting better now that I've ceased to

take them for granted.

It's amazing how much we learn to appreciate our family as we grow older.

My family has had it's 'moments', but we are very close. I thank God for

that every day!
