Hannelore dearest..do I dare write this..my 18yr old is in the country with his brother and sister and the gang..what a feeling of freedom..space..and he´s my own kid..not my grandchild! Don´t you think that maybe we have a right and need to finally slow down and take it easy at OUR OWN pace after all those years of parenting? Honey..just do what comes naturally which you are doing..and as Eagleheart writes..it´s ok to cry and laugh at the same time,too

So everything is ok then? The family is keeping together and everything goes on as usual? I may have missed something here..so please don´t answer if you don´t want to write about it again or anythng.

I am happy for you and your hubby..it all sounds like a sunshine story..which is a Hannelore story to me

LOVE and lots of grandma hugs!!!
