We have more children than the national average. All of them are young adults. (In some cases quite young and barely "adult".) None are married. All are in school or employed. Although, in my experience these things can change and may in fact be in flux at this moment, unbeknownst to me. In fact, a crisis may impend momentarily and the kids, the focus and locus of my heart and labors for the last two decades and more, would need mom to rush to their rescue to comfort and assuage their wounds. Um.... No. Not likely. They have their own lives now. (Though, they may want money.)
And we have our own lives. Don't we? Shouldn't we?
Repeating this mantra, we are helping our youngest move in at college and the day she starts her freshman classes, we are leaving the country. Flying to Manchester, England. With fingers crossed.
Mommy grows up.
