Easy to say, but often hard to do. As I watched you and your sister (as well as many friends & associates) change over the years, I often had ambivelant feelings. And then one day, I got idea that it was all about me and my development (or lack thereof). The cliché "change is the constant in the Universe" is sometimes tough to swallow when it involves a loved one and our attachments. You'll get through it...you always have! You and Kevin are great parents. Cheers. Your Dad Life is sometimes adjusting to things as they change, and then releasing the emotional energy that one associates with the past.

Why? For my first child (now 20) I had a virus which left me dehydrated so at 8 weeks I felt totally frustrated that it was over. Many tears and tearful attempts. Agonizing! I felt like a failure. My second daughter (now 17) nursed until she was 13 months. We were both ready somehow and it felt like a natural ending. My son (now 14) - I think it lasted 8-9 months - the 3rd child .... he is probably the most well adjusted haha! I enjoy reliving those special moments ... thank you. You are a wonderful mother.
