Family is very important to me. I feel blessed that my children live close, that my granddaughter lives close. I don't know if it's my heritage or my temperament, but neither my husband nor I are 'modern'. We consider our families to be part of us. Different family members have lived with us throughout our marriage--mothers, sisters, children, grandchildren. The only two houses we have ever bought were bought with an eye to having room for family to move in.

Dear @agmoore !
Madame!
I think the life you and your family live together is very happy and wholesome!

The American friends I met at Hive are all currently living separately due to their families' divorces.

Thank you for kind answer!
