Three weeks with my parents: another unexpected gift of 2020

January 10, 2021 by Aprille Leave a Comment

My parents taught me a lot about the sacrificial, unconditional love that parents have for their children, no matter how those children are! While I would never want to repeat the circumstances that led to us living with my parents for three weeks, I look back on that time as a gift to our family and to my parents.

I’m out of town and broke my leg in 3 places. Our family is fractured, splintered, and stretched further than ever before. This is SO HARD on all of us.
