There is a core, inner person, that changes little over time, what the writer/philosopher Ayn Rand called our sense of life. In my experience, those closest to us, those whose own senses of life depend on ours, to some extent, respond to that. Changes in our lives affect them, and big changes affect them a lot. But if they see the same person in your eyes when they need you, the trappings won't matter as much. Take every chance to smile lovingly, serenely into their eyes and they and you will be fine.
I've been away, sort of, other than a couple of private messages with Michelle and will catch up soon.
