I have 2 younger sisters. The one closest in age, she’s taller than me. She’s many things more than me. She and I, like all other people, ebb and flow in our relationship. Every relationship, chosen or born together, ebbs and flows just like nature.

My oldest son spread his wings as he reached adulthood. Good for him. We all want our children to launch. For me it was very painful, dramatic and intense. Not at all what I expected.

It bubbled up, coming forth gutturally from the deep inside, filling up my emotions and swirling around so violently as to burst itself through, into my conscious space.

Some holidays are forgettable or so much the same that nothing causes them to stand out from any other... This Christmas Eve moment is forever etched in our family's history... all because our female dog wouldn't eat.

I do not like going to the dentist as an adult. It’s not cause they aren’t kind, helpful, much more technologically advanced, and very useful; but come on, who actually ‘likes’ it?

My family is more grown up now. We are all still at home, but there are no longer any little children. Basically each member of the family is doing their own thing each day.
