When I suggested that our next of kin send one of those end-of-year letters with the Christmas cards, I figured everyone would grousing, but they didn't. They screamed.

"Don't you dare do that!" gasped one daughter on the verge of fainting.

Those annual updates are always a bounty of interesting news, some of it bordering on the scandalous, like "Crystal needy off the engagement and ran away with her yoga instructor" or "Lindsay was sent back to hoosegow again" or "Charlie finally achieved Nirvana and left us for the Dali Lama." 

Sometimes it's more than we paucity to know, although I generally read them from the first sentence to the last ... with envy. The promotions, the vacations and the new sports cars total me wonder what I'm doing wrong. Then, there are the tragic events like the deaths, the illnesses and the separations that affect us all, those day-to-day struggles we endure as part of this journey called life.

A lot can change in a singular year. In our home, two daughters found boyfriends, which is an anxiety second only to an IRS audit. Another daughter for all time moved out and got her own apartment, which is twice the cost of my mortgage. And another daughter emptied her weekends working with Habitat for Humanity.
