Our college friend Eleanor and her boyfriend are staying with us for a few days during her break…I am so glad.
At earlier times in my life, I had the feeling that someone I was close to was family by choice, not heredity, but during the years I had a little kid I usually did…nothing…about that feeling.
But now, what we have to give is what Eleanor wants–and we love her. Her strength and positive outlook, not to mention great personality and resilency, impress me and Spencer so much, plus we have so many things in common.
When she needed a place to stay, we were happy to offer the guest room…now we have two college students coming and going, along with Zack and his friends..and it feels great.
