Jimmy Dunne shared a viral post on Facebook about downsizing.

Dunne and his wife Catherine recently moved to a half -size condo in a condo.

He says downsizing brought about a reflection on their family life, their relationship with their kids and their stuff.

"All I have to do is look in the eyes of my two girls—and they take me back, every time, to the most beautiful, colorful, emotional scrapbook I could ever dream of having," he says.

The empty nest years can be whatever you choose to make of them, and this couple has figured out a key to making the most of theirs.

Kudos to Dunne and his wife for looking ahead to what their children would have to go through after they pass if they didn't go through it now themselves.
