This week has been extremely enlightening as to how my family situation relates to other family situations. As Joe said, we aren't so different after all. It is interesting to hear how others grew up and to find that they all seem to have had the same types of problems, values, and situations as I have had in my own life. The notion that a generation makes a difference in the way we grow up doesn't fly in the face of what we have shared and discovered this week. Is that a blessing or a curse, I wonder? Hopefully, we all will understand that no matter what type of family we came from, we turned out all right. Who is to say, that if our families had been different, we would be where we are today? And where we are today is certainly a fine place to be, as far as I can tell. How about you?
