Sweet memories of long ago. So many things are different now. My ex-husband, mom and step-dad have passed away along with my old dogs Mollie & Bristol. I remarried this year and am blessed with sharing my life with Steve.

The grandkids are now at the age where they are busy learning to drive, part of a school band, and hang out with their friends non-stop. Grandparents are not cool any more! 😆

My son and his wife are much too busy in their own world and circle of friends to spend time with us. I guess parents aren’t cool anymore either! 😆

So Steve and I are making a new life here in Denver after spending 6 years in Arizona taking care of my folks as their health declined and they finally slipped away.

The past generations believed in honoring and taking care of their folks throughout their lives and especially in their final years. My grandmother lived with my parents until the day she died and she was a blessing to all of us.

The next generations don’t seem to feel the same way in many families. I hear it all the time from other women my age. What do you think has caused the shift away from family respect and responsibility? Or what is causing so much discord between grown children and their aging parents?

I just know that life goes on and you have to accept responsibility for your own happiness, surround yourself with good and kind people, and have the strength to keep helping others in need.

I hope that you will join me on this journey of inspiration and motivation. Please subscribe to:
