I am at the point in life when I so often ask myself where the time went. I know many of my friends who are my age feel exactly the same way - our children are grown and beginning families of their own, and the house is incredibly quiet most of the time. And it’s true, I’ve come to both accept and appreciate the peace of my solitude, but it doesn’t mean I’m not happiest when my house is filled to the brim with my daughters and their families. There is nothing that makes me happier - not even close.
