Killer Economy Strengthens Home And Family

The brutal economy has crushed families all over America. From sea to shining sea there are waves of anguish washing over our families. When the financial tides recede there is something new left behind and worth noticing.

One of the interesting trends in response to financial difficulties is not the college age crowd taking cover at their childhood homes. There is a remarkable strategy to avoid foreclosure happening in all fifty states. Instead of your elderly parents moving in with their kids the opposite is happening. We took the plunge when the economy took my job.

My Dad never thought he would share his recreation room with his grandson’s dreadnought acoustic guitar. He thought my fitness equipment needed a cup holder but he was intrigued with my daughter’s kindle reader. My wife is actually baking for the holidays with my Mother. Dad and I are staying up late in his workshop.

Our financial difficulties led us home. Not our home but our family’s home. I was not prepared for the surprises. I came home from work and Pop was playing a popular guitar video game with the kids. He was totally jamming and the kids were grinning. Was it possible that we were all changing or just revealing what was already inside us?

My Mom has a page on a social site and now has over 100 friends. My daughter is helping my Mom’s social group with a quilt to raise money to fulfill critically ill children wishes. I actually caught my son playing cribbage with my Dad. I can still see the sheepish look on my Dad’s face when I caught him reading and e-book.

There is an interesting dynamic taking place. Relatives and family members becoming friends? We are sharing experiences and finding common ground that goes beyond our DNA. We are uncovering connections we never realized existed. It’s happening between parents and children and grandparents and grandchildren. It’s wonderful too.

Wrapping up a day of chasing fish my Pop asked me if I thought the kids might like spending some weekends at their house after we move back to our home next year. He said he was also wondering if we might be able to get together for a couple out of state fishing trips next summer.

The kids laughed at my goofy hairdo and funny outfit. Then my daughter said, ‘You have grandpa’s smile Dad’. I looked at the picture and at my father. Then I looked at my son’s smile. It was a match. That’s when I knew that when a bad economy steals every penny you have you can still wrap your arms around everything you treasure. Guess what? Those kind of riches will hug you back.

Red Dawn $7.35 The Ronald Reagan 1980s were all about going back to the future–rewriting the past to better suit Reagan’s upbeat vision of the present. So, Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo (a psychotic, shell-shocked Vietnam vet in the original film, transformed into a flag-waving hero in the sequel) was able to go back to Southeast Asia and “correct” history by decisively (and single-handedly) winning that mess…

The Outsiders: The Complete Novel $8.98 No one was surprised when Francis Ford Coppola revisited Apocalypse Now, but his overhaul of The Outsiders raised a few eyebrows.

Hinton’s young adult classic to the screen along with Coppola’s epic vision. The story remains the same…
