I drove home feeling changed. Watching Jen and Darren with their little ones made me stop and consider all kinds of things - traditions, the importance of the details in time spent with loved ones, what our purpose is - but most importantly what it means to have a family, and BE a family.
I've not forgotten that conversation by any means...but seeing Jen and Darren with their kids was like watching my Mom's words in action. These two really GET IT. And their kiddos are so fun and happy...I drove home thinking about how much I want to have a family like this someday...more than anything, really.
