Thank you Lena. We each cope with what we need to. And when it involves a choice then you need to cope

I know! That's life and these experiences shape who we become. You know I am going to be 59 this year and I have lots of struggle behind me. That's why I must take it slow now.
Only 59?! My husband is a few years younger...and me a few years younger again! (We are older parents ;) Struggle gives us wisdom. Hopefully. And through those struggles we are able to help others. Hopefully! Although I find struggles make many bitter which is tragic. It is like most things - depends how you look at it. Silver lining or cloud. You are a silver lining for the gift of your years Lena
I would never guess! Wow! You have such a young children! But you see I had my first daughter when I was 18 and I feel like I lived 4 lives already lol.
Only four lives ;) I can only imagine how different it is to be a younger mom versus an older. My first was born just before I turned 40. My stepsons are already old enough to have their own children.... And we LOVE our life
I guess, you are similar to my daughter, since she turned 40 last year. She had the twins when she was 35. My younger daughter who is going to be 38 this year is still single and it's seems like she is going to stay that that way! Oh well. Anyway, I am happy grandma, eventough I am tired, lol. You know, I was a single mother, since I decided to leave my drunk husband and make a new life here in Canada. That's why I am taking easy now.
Tragic that so many throw their lives and sacrifice loved ones that way, Lena. But how wonderful that you have beautiful children and grandchildren as your crowning glory. You know the story about Japanese Kintsugi? When I read your words I see how beautiful you are with the gold repairing the past brokeness
You are so right Tracey and thank you so much for such a beautiful analogy. Although I had to look it up Kintsug on line, after I saw it, I recognized it πππ
