Written for EO by Susan Michel, founder and CEO of Glen Eagle.
Whether we have aging parents, adult children or both, we all should consider having an honest conversation about the future. If there’s one lesson I have learned from working with families over the years, it’s that elderly parents often regret that they didn’t start a dialogue with their adult children sooner.

The sound of the waves rolling onto the sand, the birds flying and calling and the other people on the beach, including my children, giggling and screaming as they run around; the feel of the sun and the wind on my face and the sand as it moves under my feet and escapes through my toes; the smell and taste of the salt in the air.
