[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 653419, member: 1967"] My husband and I went out to brunch with another couple who are close friends. Difficult Child is in Florida and J went to New Orleans with friends. I was just thinking about how different it used to be. Church, family friends coming over for Easter dinner, Easter egg hunts in the backyard. Of the nine children that used to participate in the Easter egg hunts (four families), three became involved with drugs/alcohol, two are gay, three became teachers, two are working on PhDs, one has a master's degree, and another starting on a master's degree, several working service jobs or in treatment. Three are married and one is starting a family. There is obviously some overlapping here. All of the four couples are still married to their original partners.Some have faced job loss, heart problems, and two had breast cancer. Two have retired and the rest are still working. Who would have thought all those years ago where we would all be now? It makes me think of the song from The Way We Were, "Oh, can it be that it was all so simple then?" Just some random musing . . . ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
