Anyone that has adult children has seen the loss of their innocent youth. It is so hard to witness just like when your kids realize the truth about Santa Claus. Being a parent is a never ending job and never ending worry.
WO, I would do the same thing. I would want my child and grand baby close by especially when they are sick. I have a son in DC and it is endless worry for me. I keep telling him you don't have to stay there, there is plenty of room in Alabama for you but he says no. Kids!!!
I just spoke with my 2 sisters today and asked them what they were telling their young adult kids. They all are just out of college, doing well, but with tons of student loan debt and expensive apartments and lifestyles. Half of our combined 14 children are out of work now and some not sure what to expect tomorrow and in the coming days. Do they save their cash? Worry about their credit card payments and credit score? Move home or in with family members? Just hard times and I can't send my children backup funds.
Kensie, sounds like you are in the same boat as I am. That big city of DC, you must be worried about your son as well! That is one fast moving life there compared to the slow easy and sweet home Alabama!
GoodNight now, I didn't sleep all last night-having "nightmares" I am actually finding it easier to sleep in the daylight. Crazy world.
