How we react to others

We still feel protective of all our AC who are in their 40.s always have always will. It’s great to see that they are all confident and independent, I totally agree Bluebirdwsm

One of my sons dresses like an 80s scruffy teenager so I was delighted to see him yesterday with a new haircut and expensive suit.His new wife is looking after him.

My youngest granddaughter who is one, reminds me so much of her mum, my youngest daughter, it’s like having her baby years again, and yes, it makes me feel a bit soppy about her.

My sons are 6 footers and in their late 40's now. When they hurt, I hurt.
I still see the boys they were, their traits and vulnerabilities and feel protective of them even now.
I could hold them close for a long time. Each gives me a tight hug and a kiss when I see them. I that is wonderful, I feel lucky.

Awww, I know what you mean. My children are all in their thirties, bar the youngest(29). Sometimes I see just a hint in their faces, of the children they were?

My sons are middle aged now but I still feel protective of them. It is hard to let go of the children they once were but you must feel proud that he is confidant and independent. and that is in no small part down to you!
