Kindle Family
Home And Family Made Better By Bitter Economy
From shore to shore, America if filled with losers. People are losing their jobs, businesses are losing their customers, and families are losing their homes in record numbers. Is there any hint of a silver lining in these dark economic clouds.
One of the interesting trends in response to financial difficulties is not the college age crowd taking cover at their childhood homes. There is a remarkable strategy to avoid foreclosure happening in all fifty states. Instead of your elderly parents moving in with their kids the opposite is happening. We took the plunge when the economy took my job.
My father-in-law thought my fitness equipment was a waste of money but found some room for it in the basement. However he surprised us when he asked if he could hold my daughter’s dreadnought acoustic guitar. Then he proceeded to play and actually sing. My mother-in-law is an avid reader and has fallen in love with my wife’s kindle reader.
The move home and combining family members led to unexpected surprises. My daughter found new support for body marking when she discovered that her grandmother has a tattoo on her hip. My son and his grandfather are playing two person video games nearly every night. My mother and I share early rising and coffee habits.
My Mom has a page on a social site and now has over 100 friends. My daughter is helping my Mom’s social group with a quilt to raise money to fulfill critically ill children wishes. I actually caught my son playing cribbage with my Dad. I can still see the sheepish look on my Dad’s face when I caught him reading and e-book.
There is an interesting dynamic taking place. Relatives and family members becoming friends? We are sharing experiences and finding common ground that goes beyond our DNA. We are uncovering connections we never realized existed. It’s happening between parents and children and grandparents and grandchildren. It’s wonderful too.
He talked to me about the war, about coming home to Mom and starting a family. He told me about his parents passing away when I was very young. He told me that people, especially men always argue about when we become grownups. He told me that he thinks it is when your parents die because until then you are always somebody’s little boy.
The kids laughed at my goofy hairdo and funny outfit. Then my daughter said, ‘You have grandpa’s smile Dad’. I looked at the picture and at my father. Then I looked at my son’s smile. It was a match. That’s when I knew that when a bad economy steals every penny you have you can still wrap your arms around everything you treasure. Guess what? Those kind of riches will hug you back.
