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 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 economy accomplished what our hectic schedules had never allowed. Honest quality time with each other. We are playing board games now that used to take up closet space. The kids have learned card games that I thought died out in the era of black and white television. There is bonding that crosses generations.
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.
Old relationships are being renewed. My wife and I have been visiting with my parents friends and making new connections. It was through one of my Mom's friends that my wife found out about a better job opportunity. My Dad and I had lots of talks in the workshop that I was not much interested in as a kid.
We were up late the other day trimming the tree for Christmas. We had combined some of our ornaments with my parents. Memories of years gone by were shared. My Mom brought out a box and had us gather around the kitchen table. She drew out my childhood Christmas stocking and a picture of me in my pajamas adorned with jets.
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.
