We are in the same generation sandwiched between our elderly parents and our adult kids. I am happy to read that someone else can be so moved by something seemingly so small. My grandmother who passed a few years ago and my mom who is 83 and is an assisted living facility in Raleigh and I were huge "Guiding Light" fans. I grew up coming home and waiting this soap with my "Nanny" and with mom when it was a holiday. Friday was the last day of this soap which ran for 72 YEARS!! I new the day was coming. I have been crying about this for a week and can hardly talk about it. Finally on Friday I realized that I was really mourning the loss of my grandmother and my mom (not yet passed). That soap is them to me. It means love, care, kindness, compassion, and strength. It is a shock to think that one day both with be gone. I will never be ready. But I will always know I was loved. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and inspiring me to share mine. Kathy Your comments touched me deeply. We are in the same generation sandwiched between our elderly parents and our adult kids.
