If there is one constant, it would be change. It used to be normal and expected for a household to have numerous generations under the same roof. Now that the world has changed, we have lost that, and it is my personal opinion that we are poorer for it. Join Tina and Christy as they talk with Isabel Tom. Isabel is a mom, wife, daughter, and retired granddaughter. She is also the author of The Value of Wrinkles: A Young Perspective on How Loving the Old will Change Your Life. Enjoy the conversation!
