I'm looking for stories on the following topics:
Unconventional living: do you live with your bff and their kids? Did you parents move in with you after retirement? Did your college kid decide they didn't want to go to a dorm?
Grandparents: being extra helpful or extra not helpful, hit me with your grandparent stories (that are verifiable)
Military families: open to all types of fresh essays.
Moving regrets/loves: did you move for work? Love? To give your kids xyz?
