Visits from the Grandchildren
April 29, 2010
Flo gets to meet another great grandbaby during a visit from one of her grandchildren, who visit her regularly in her nursing home. She loves them.
In Ericksons Eighth Stage, integrity versus despair, Flo is grateful and considers herself lucky to still be visited alot by her grandchildren. She believes it all stems back to when she gave up her career to care for her family and she'd do it again in a heartbeat. She is not riddled with guilt over her contributions in life.
