Fantastic story that truly brought tears to my eyes (even at my old, dried out stage in life). Growing up my home was the place my friends all congregated. Mom always had bake goods ready in the freezer (Toffee Bars were our favorite). Sleepovers. Holiday dinners. Hangouts listening to new music releases (played on a record player). Many of my friends referred to my parents as mom and dad. As we aged they still stopped by to say hello to my parents. In medical school classmates would come over for dinner (a slice of family during stressful times). We have tried to continue this tradition with our children. Ed - you are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Great photos.
