Jude, it's so funny really. I can look at Kate (or Luke or Beth for that matter) and I see this lovely adult woman, living her life her own way, willing to serve her country, all that adult stuff I hoped she would grow into and yet in my mother's heart I will always see this.....



I think somewhere in us, they just never grow up. They were all laughing their goofy butts off this weekend though since only young Michael is currently shorter than me (and he's 7 years old!). It is a very strange feeling to be surrounded by the babies you birthed and you have to bloody well look up at them LOL.

Thanks for your lovely post Judy. Made me misty eyed too. Hugs!
