Not only is it beautiful but you are blessed to have your family and significant other so supportive of you. My children on the other hand tend to use me and live their own lives. My ex-husband once said[he is alchoholic and probably bi-polar] that I would be a lonely old woman. I think he was right. My son once said when I'm really old and I asked directions he would guide me to a pier so I'd fall into the water. He wasn't kidding. I wanted my kids to be independant because my mother was sick my whole life and noone was ever there for me or to teach me anything. I swore I'd be different. No yelling, make own beds, wash own clothes, etc. I wanted them to be able to take care of themselves. I think I went overboard. Fondly, Phillipa
