I live vicariously through my kids, daughter 23 and son 21. :-) Neither my husband nor I get around like we used to, so we don’t go out a lot. Both my kids are enjoying ‘romance’ – my daughter in a 5 year relationship (taking things sloooow - waiting for his college graduation) and my son with a first girlfriend in a very new relationship. I get to relive all the joys of new love! And, I get to hear all, well, most ;-), of their exploits – travels, outings, etc. Thankfully, we are a close family and the kids actually LIKE their parents, so even though they are older, we still enjoy our Family Movie Night gatherings, in-depth discussions, and laughing together!
I come from a large family that has always helped each other; now I have my own wonderful family: husband, son, and daughter/ best friend. We help each other through life's up and downs.
As I may have mentioned several dozen times, I love your books and loved this one as well! :-)
@Carla, I so agree! My first-born, my daughter, was born early and had a rough start – they said if she made the first 24 hours, she’d be OK. When I finally took her home, she cried constantly. I remember thinking of calling the hospital to ask what they did to her! She settled in, but had colic, and cried every night from 10pm to 2am! To calm her a little, I would lay in the recliner and let her sleep on my chest, talking and singing softly. My son was almost 9 pounds when he was born, and was an angel. He was a happy boy and slept through the night at about 2 months. Now, my “baby” is 20, and they’re both happy & healthy.
