I love this post. A change in living situation totally can bring you back to “relive” and rethink the various eras of our lives…. I’ve been there before too. And during this difficult time it’s wonderful you can reflect on it in a positive way to remember all those special times with your family. I’ve lived at home “after” moving out for various reasons – between jobs, houses, etc and it is always a weird kind of thing – but in a very good way. Kind of like getting to be 10 again you know? Brings back a huge rush of memories.

This post brought tears to my eyes. It was so sweet. Then your dad’s comment on the post was even better!

Oh, Jane, I am such an awful, awful, AWFUL blog friend. I am sitting here in tears with the wind knocked out of me. I had NO idea you were going through this.

Here I am emailing with you about such mundane things and I had NO idea. I cannot apologize enough to you. I hope you can forgive me and I hope you know you can talk to me anytime you need someone….I will always be there for you (even when I haven’t made blog rounds….seriously, just email me and I will drop everything).

I am so glad you’re surrounded by love and comforting memories right now. I’m sending prayers up for you as I type this….that your dad’s laughter will help heal your heart and that you will find peace in those memories.

I love you, Jane!! xoxox

Oh, Jane! What wonderful memories! You know, the pull-out-couch era makes me wish I had a sister! I have two brothers and always wished for a sister to share all those special moments! You are and Audrey are so very lucky to have each other

Like everyone has said, good things can come out of difficult and trying times I’ve been through the living-back-at-home-era. It wasn’t easy, but it was temporary…and my family made things easier.

What wonderful memories of fun times with your sister. Even though it’s not easy the reason you at temporarily back at home, it seems that your parents are wonderful people to go through a hard time with.

I do have the guilty pleasure of the Housewives & How I Met Your Mother.

Jane,
This is such a beautiful memory that you now have the opportunity to enjoy again during this difficult time.

It is easy to fall back into it, isn’t it? I feel a lot of comfort in those moments particularly when it is just me and no one else with my parents. I can revert back to those good times all over again and feel like the apple of my parent’s eye

What a great post. I have two little sisters and though I am a mom and have been married for close to four years. When my husband goes away on a business trip and I get a chance to sleep over my parents. I jump at the offer. I just bring a 10 month baby and two pups along for the sleepover.
