Growing Up Without Grandpa and Grandma

Growing Up Without Grandpa and Grandma

  One of the hardest things that my wife and I have had to endure is coming to grips with the fact that our children will likely only ever have a limited relationship with our parents.  We relocated to the South in 2011 for job opportunities that were non-existent near our hometowns.  At the time we were excited about beginning a life together and setting out on our own.  We knew that the 800...

When Flying Makes You Ask: Are You Serious?

When Flying Makes You Ask: Are You Serious?

What It’s Really Like Being An Only Child

What It’s Really Like Being An Only Child

  Growing up an only child in the 70’s was not very common. I was always accused of being spoiled and self centered. I spent a lot of time defending myself, explaining I did not get everything I wanted handed to me on a silver platter, and this was not my choice that I was an only child. Life was good for most part in our family, until the day my parents decided they no longer wanted to... Read More »
