That somehow makes sense to me.<br />I love the family picture and you are so blessed to have both sets of parents alive AND living so close...I think that Kids who grow up around their elders benefit so much form the wisdom and compassion that they witness. <br />Your dinner sounds lovely...well aside from those anchovies. REally? you eat those?

Stud is lucky enough to have the same thing, and they all live within 5-10 minutes from us. Unfortunately, we aren't lucky enough to all spend time together, given that my ex and I are now divorced. But, Stud sees ALL of his grandparents regularly :)ChiTown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240876368610100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-67330921761494729672009-04-16T18:06:00.000-07:002009-04-16T18:06:00.000-07:00I did a presentation today at my seminary about gr...I did a presentation today at my seminary about grief and talked about many of these things -- the cognitive, memory, and energy consequences.
