[quote=Anonymous]We had a dinner party this past weekend and one of our guests made a comment that I have been thinking about. We were all in our late 50's. He said we have preptty much become invisible to the younger generation. Society, in general, has no use for us. Since my kids are flying the nest one by one, i have felt this way, at times. 
When my kids came home, it was such a special time for me when their friends came over. They took the time to sit and visit with us and talk about old memories. I was a stay at home mom. One young man lost his mother shortly before we met him. He gave us a card saying how much our friendship meant to him. He said he always felt comfortable coming over and telling us about his mom, even whe my son was not around.  My husband was out of the country a lot when they were growing up. I really got to know a lot of my kids friends and it brings me so much joy to hear them talk about how much that meant to them.
These visits brought me so much joy. I suppose we all feel invisible outside our little worlds. Maybe more so in the culture we live in now.
I am babbling, but it feels good to share![/quote]
