My daughter sat on my bed for 4 hours the other day talking about whether to break up with her boyfriend. It tore my heart in a different way - and she's 20! You're an awesome mom, you're kids are so lucky to have you!!

Molly, ...Ditto! That last photo speaks volumes. <br /><br />Molly, they will always need you.<br /><br />A friend with children older than mine said that she felt like it was even more important to be around when her kids were in high school (than when they were little). And I found that to be true and changed my work situation to make that happen <br /><br />Enjoy the process!Lois Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560321506489546079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269842279288877030.post-25975944926765610472011-09-08T22:37:41.114-04:002011-09-08T22:37:41.114-04:00That last picture is great!
