Economy Is Bringing Home And Family Together

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.

Older children are moving back in with their parents. Young couples and older couples are sharing a home with Mom and Dad. They are renting their home because they cannot sell it in this market. They do not want to lose it entirely. So the extended family is under one roof for a time.

We moved in to my parents retirement home with two children of our own. Although much of our belongings went into storage we still had some of our important items. There was no way I was leaving my dreadnought acoustic guitar in storage. My wife had me put her fitness equipment in the unused room above the garage. She carried her kindle reader all by herself.

Our financial difficulties led us home. Not our home but our family's home. I was not prepared for the surprises. I came home from work and Pop was playing a popular guitar video game with the kids. He was totally jamming and the kids were grinning. Was it possible that we were all changing or just revealing what was already inside us?

My Mom and my Mother-in-law are now own neighboring farms on a popular internet site. My son has been learning to tie fishing flies with his Grandpa. I watched my daughter laughing as she took off biking with her Mom and Grandmother. On weekends the kids have their friends over and I believe it's making their grandparents feel younger.

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.

Wrapping up a day of chasing fish my Pop asked me if I thought the kids might like spending some weekends at their house after we move back to our home next year. He said he was also wondering if we might be able to get together for a couple out of state fishing trips next summer.

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.
