Secondly, I love how this sweet post stirred up my own memories of my single apartment in New York on 90th Street and Columbus. So tiny -- with a little loft and a window that cranked open onto a courtyard with a tree. I was so happy there, making chocolates in my galley kitchen on my days off. I, too, lived next door to a drug dealer, but I don't think the place had a laundry so I had to either pay for it to be done or drag it to the laundromat. Still, they were rich and good times.

And they will have so much fun and make so many wonderful memories for themselves. As a young adult, you never think of your parents being worried. They'll be ok. All will be well. You were beautiful at that age!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015888228309968515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-68804170444294700352016-10-09T14:17:22.014-04:002016-10-09T14:17:22.014-04:00Steve, it is fun to look back on those time.

I think it's how I'm made, because that part I've carried into the present with me. As for my kids being on the threshold, I think they crossed over it a while ago!37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-24225056607667044332016-10-09T14:15:52.497-04:002016-10-09T14:15:52.497-04:00e, he had a great birthday, AND he passed the last...e, he had a great birthday, AND he passed the last of his clinical scenarios with flying colors this week!

They need stories to remember and marvel at when they reach an older age, when their lives seem so calm and straight in comparison. This is the way it is, it should be. What a lovely post! So evocative!
