International Family Day is May 15, and it brings back memories as warm as a kitchen light left on after sunset. 💛

For many older adults, family once meant crowded holiday tables, station wagons packed for vacation, handwritten letters, Sunday dinners, and the familiar sound of someone calling “Mom” or “Grandpa” from another room. Some families lived next door. Some practically lived in each other’s kitchens.

Families look different today. They stretch across states, across screens, and sometimes across silence. Some seniors are surrounded by children, grandchildren, neighbors, and lifelong friends. Others may not have close family nearby, or may have built a “chosen family” through friendships and community connections over the years.

That’s one reason places like Portage Commons matter so much. Family is not always about who you’re related to. Sometimes it’s the people who save you a seat at lunch, ask how your week has been, or notice when you’ve missed bingo. ❤️

On this International Family Day, we’d love to hear from you:

What’s one family tradition, memory, or lesson you still carry with you today?
