One of her better moments...and one of my worst.
With kids ranging from 24-33, I can tell you unequivocally, FB, that you *never* stop worrying. You never stop being a parent. The good news is that you spend *less* time in "parental mode" and grow a really great "friend mode" that just isn't appropriate when the kids are young but is great when they're adults. (You also find out all the stuff they *didn't* tell you when they were teenagers and that can be a rough ride.)
Signing on as a parent is a lifetime committment. That's why only the strong survive.
All you can do is the best you can. That's all anybody can do.

That's why I'm ok with one child...Don't think I could stomach having to worry about 2 kids....Sounds nuts I know I just never thought I could love so much until Ryan was born! I don't want to be corny, but I'll never forget that feeling I got when I first saw him
So it's easy to say that I would snap if anything ever happened to him!
