Home And Family Made Better By Bitter Economy

This land is your land, this land is my land… Until your lender forecloses. Vacant homes, playmates going to other schools, and empty seats at church are signs that lives are being changed by a wicked economy. Yet there is proof that diamonds are created under tremendous pressure.

Many of our friends have their children moving back to live in their homes. We found are proof that it is not just twenty-somethings moving home. My wife and I went to live with her parents along with two of our kids. We put our home with a vacation rental company when we realized we not be able to sell it or make the mortgage payments much longer.

My Dad never thought he would share his recreation room with his grandson’s dreadnought acoustic guitar. He thought my fitness equipment needed a cup holder but he was intrigued with my daughter’s kindle reader. My wife is actually baking for the holidays with my Mother. Dad and I are staying up late in his workshop.

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.

My father-in-law and I have become friends. That is different from being related by marriage. It’s much better. We share a passion for old airplanes and have traveled as far as 300 miles to attend an airshow with the tribe. We spend time together fishing and he finally asked me to show him how some of my exercise gear works.

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.

That’s when I realized two things were true. I am actually glad that our house is rented for awhile and I wanted to be ‘somebody’s little boy’ for a many years to come.
