End of Several Years Report 2009


Dear Children of Isaacson, Family & Friends,

Rachel says it has been too long since I sat down to write The Letter and Mickey says I need to add to my blog & maybe they are right but then maybe… Well, you decide.

A couple of years ago I saw a friend in a similar time of life (struggling to be an “empty-nester”) at the Post Office. We traded greetings and I looked into her tired eyes and said, “I won’t ask about your kids if you won’t ask about mine.” She nearly smiled as she climbed back into her car for the drive back her all too crowded kitchen where They still expected dinner every night. Just yesterday at our little Post Office I saw a different friend in a similar time of my life and to my query about her several “fled from the nesters” she gratefully declared, “They are all employed and living in their own homes.” My head bobbed enthusiastically as I replied, “Mine too except for the 2 that are supposed to be living with us.” So I’m thinking in general This Isaacson Family is at this point of time is progressing positively and we are down to 2 kids at home!!!

You are amazing. It's an honor to associate with such a great person. 10 kids = an unselfish woman. I'm not sure I'm willing to have 2 kids in my house at your age. You are an inspiration!
