“Mom?” Charlie shouts out from the living area of our cabin. Not that it’s really a cabin anymore. We’ve put so many additions on it, it’s become a house. But we still love escaping here, especially in the summer. Watching our children grow up, spending every summer by the lake with their cousins and our families has been such a wonderful privilege.
And now Charlie’s almost seventeen and there’s that bittersweet feeling that in a few years he won’t be here anymore. He wants to go to college, and he’s desperate to travel.
