Sue, I can honestly say that I have experienced, finally, that gratification. Recently all 4 of my children were together for a dinner following a performance of my youngest in a college play. I was struck by the realization that all 4 of them were in one place at one time, and they were LAUGHING!!! TOGETHER!!! NOT AT EACH OTHER, BUT WITH EACH OTHER!!!
They all said that they would have to do this more often. I smiled. It was great.
But many years in the making.
