Downsize

In a hope to downsize, she cleared out every room,

ready, to put a new office, her own space.

When one of her brood, moved back in

she wouldn’t ever say no.

Downsizing could wait, her nest no longer empty.

This poignant story captures the beauty of family love and sacrifice in a single sentence, reminding us that sometimes our plans must take a back seat to the needs of those we love most.

  I love having my son live with us again, even though he spends most of his time in his room.
