Karen, you are a gem and such a treasured friend to know and rely on for strength of heart
your words "I made a commitment to help my daughter and her husband care for their 3 boys, all under the age of 5, one of them a newborn (no longer!). I am a firm believer in family helping family. I have lived for many years in villages where families stay together and support one another, and I truly believe this is how it should be, the older generation helping the younger ones."
These words are so true. Sadly, there are many families angry and torn apart. My younger daughter has a controlling husband and he has huge grudges now.
I wish you all of the very best on your adventures in Costa Rica!!
Thank you Karen, I love your essays and I read them all, what an attention span I have, lol. Always ignore the naysayers it is the best course of action one can take. And all love joy and happiness to you and yours in all your future endeavours.
I hope your future blesses as many people as your past, Karen. I always enjoy your essays. Thank you for all that you do! ❤️
Thank you!
