MY FINAL POST. ENJOY. The Family Room Sometimes as I sit here, in my family room – I’m convinced there isn’t another room anywhere in the universe that would ever be capable of offering me the comfort that this one does. It reminds me of all that I have – when I look up on…
I was dropping my 16-year-old daughter off on her first day at her co-op placement and she was understandably nervous.
