It's wonderful to meet up again as adults, different, but even closer because of their realisation of how much we've done/sacrificed for them. My friends whose children have chosen to remain at home into their mid 20's are suffering - the women in particular - the children haven't learned to be independent. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to your next posts. Keep safe.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715879775216108688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-87041940943792295502011-08-29T18:13:18.415-04:002011-08-29T18:13:18.415-04:00My youngest is about to go.

I wonder if that has weight in such matters. Yet they are funny and charming and humorous. Either way, I am soon to find out.Wine and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778785233226804217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-22593311635662663592011-08-29T10:51:59.151-04:002011-08-29T10:51:59.151-04:00Glad you weathered the storm!
