this day, i remind myself about how blessed i am. my children are grown up, and well educated, well bred... any parent would love to have as a daughter-in-law... and if they don't think so, they are silly..
so my motherhood is almost complete; but wait, it never is... one never stops worrying about them, their health, their safety, their wellbeing, their relationships, their marriage, their partners, their careers..... and the list goes on.
i think the real test of motherhood, is knowing when it's time to let go.... to allow the children to make their own mistakes, to lead their own lives the way they would like to, to choose their own spouse and partner according to what they feel is right...
the mother has done all the moulding and guiding while children are younger...once they are adults, they take over.... mothers step back and guide from behind, advise when asked, and help when needed...
that is real motherhood to the end....
