Jessica, Milford, new Hampshire: “Sometimes life throws you in different directions. But the most important thing is to remember where you need to be.”

Betty, Sweden, Maine: “My husband died. You can now smoke in the house”.

Nito, Cambridge, Massachusetts: “there Are days when I do not go out of the room.”

Pieper, Jay, Maine: “in the Morning I try not to make noise, not to Wake up. And then remember that she died.”

Claire Hanover, Massachusetts: “I have always loved my bedroom because it is cozy, and it reminds of my childhood. Now I’m getting older and experiencing many changes, but I like that this room is not changing.”

Christopher and Alice, Portland, Maine: “Now so rarely just the two of us, the constant running, two children, a cat. But every time such a chance, enjoying every minute of it. And they are so fleeting, like summer…”

Germain: “Every year I wait for Christmas to eat Christmas cookies. Always hide them.”

Junior and Top: “My bed is in the closet, so I love jumping on mom’s bed.”

Carol: “Where are we?”

A married middle-aged couple: “Finally, our room beautiful. And here we are… not really!”

Young family: “I hate this room, but we waited so long for children. So I like it when we are all together, even in this tiny room”.

Winslow and cat Juno: “I Have now a transition period of life, but now at least I have a cat.”
