If your adult children have a relationship with your parent(s), that is something you probably feel extra gratitude for. How special to watch the generation that came before you interact with the generation that you raised.Hopefully you can hang on to the beauty of that as you wrestle through some of the more challenging parts of being in the middle of this generational sandwich. After all, every rose has its thorns, right?
