Age brings us full circle.
Today I'm going to let you listen in on a conversation I had with one of the Edgewood residents this week.Me: Hey, D! How are you today?D: I'm good. I'm going to see my daughter today. Me: Oh, great!D: Yes. She's like my mother now, you know.I hear this sentiment quite often. And see it lived out. The 50 and 60-something-year-old adult children become the parent figure to their own parents. Caring for them, taking them where they need to go, even making decisions for them.D:(laughing) Yeah. I let her talk and talk, and then I do what I want to anyway. I thought to myself, That sounds just like my teenager! I can talk 'til I'm blue in the face, and he does what he wants to, anyway. And then I realized, age brings us full circle.**********************************************************************************I'll be leaving for Texas early Saturday morning, and am scheduled to get home LATE Tuesday night. Hoping to be back in blogland Wednesday.With TEXAS pictures, of course! Have a great weekend!
