The clock is ticking…

I love this article. The negative responses are not only sad, but they make me wonder if those individuals do not have or will regret not having or fostering a closer relationship with their parents. There is almost always some regret, assuming that the relationships between them are healthy. After all, when it comes down to it, all we have is time, and a limited amount at that.

I had to move back home about 12 years ago due to an illness that causes debilitating chronic pain. I could not work full time and take care of my son without my parents help. It has been the best thing for all involved for so many reasons.

I am 42 now and my son has grown into a wonderful, well-adjusted and responsible young man. In my opinion, you are also doing your future children a great service. I will be forever grateful for the time my son and I have had with my mom. She is my best friend and I’m so incredibly thankful for all of the memories we continue to make. ❤
