Another powerful article, Don. Thanks for introducing me to Wendl (virtually here). Her Community as Family concept adds to my ideas for how to age with support. When your Subject line read "Make Your Own", I thought you were going to write about the approach my husband and I are working on -- of effectively adopting younger people to be our kids to guide us as our abilities dwindle. I don't expect to see any dwindling for several decades to come, but we want to get things in place sooner than later anyway.

Bravo, Wendl and Don!
