Beautiful and straight to my heart. Our son will turn 50 in a month and our daughter lives in England, so "family time" has evolved into a WhatsApp family chat with hilarious exchanges, FaceTime, I85 drives to our son's house, and cross-Atlantic flights to Merrie Olde England. Yet it works. And we marvel that both children are independent, strong-hearted, fantastic adults.

Love your story!! It is so true and if only we could go back in time I would appreciate it more and love them more for who they would one day become. Do you realize Tommy will be 40 on Sept 1st. Oh where has time gone. It’s funny because Tim NEVER let anyone watch the boys except you and Tyler. You guys were the only ones he ever trusted <3

This is so good. I've had my own big shifts lately, and you've put some language on that.
