All in the Family - Changing attitudes, extended life spans and changing immigration have strengthened familial bonds in the U.S.

Interesting article on how the family is coming back together in the 21st century -- for support, for caregiving, and more.

I agree that the family structure - though changing - has increasing importance for our society. This is especially true as people age. Paid caregiving will see a shortage and there are fewer family caregivers per Boomer as we age. We are going to see new structures and relationships emerge. And storytelling and sharing will become so much more important!
