Most of the stories we read in magazines are about the challenges of helping aging parents whose health and financial stability have become sources of worry and anxiety. But the story I'm writing is about the many middle-aged people who continue to be nurtured and guided by their parents. If your parents continue to light your mid-life paths in ways that nurture family bonds, I'd love to chat with you. (I am particularly hoping to find MEN with close relationships with parents, so if you are/know one, let me hear from you!)
