Is There A Magic Cutoff Period When Offspring Become Accountable For Their Own Actions? Is There A Wonderful Moment When Parents Can Become Detached Spectators In The Lives Of Their Childern And Shrug , "It's Their Life And Feel Nothing ?
When I Was In My Twentise I I Stood In A Hospital Corridor , Waiting For Doctor To Put A Few Stitches In My Son's Head. I Asked When Do You Stop Worrying ?
The Nurse Said When They Get Out Of The Accident Stage... My Mother just Smiled Faintly And Said Nothing
When I Was In My Thirties I Sat On A Little Chair In A Classroom And Heard How One Of My Children Talked Incessantly, Disrupted The Class And Was Headed For A Career Making License Plates. As If To Read My Mind A Teacher Said Don't Worry They All Go Through This Stage And Then You Can Sit Back Relax And Enjoy Them... My Mother Just Smiled Faintly And Said Nothing... When I Was In My Forties I Spend A Lifetime Waiting For The Phone To Ring The Cars To Come Home ,The Front Door , To Open A Friend Said They're Trying To Find Themselves. Don't Worry In A Few Years You Can Stop Worrys They'll Be Adults" My Mother Just Smiled Faintly And Said Nothing.
By The Time I Was 50 I Was Sick And Tired Of Being Vulnerable I Was Still Worrying Over My Childern But There Was A New Wrinkle Ther Was Nothing I Could Do About It My Mother Just Smilde Faintly And Said Nothing I Continued To Anguish Over Their Failures Be Tormented By Their Frustrations And Absorbed In Their Disappointments
My Friends Said That When My Kids Got Married I Could Stop Worrying And Lead My Own Life. I Wanted To Believe That But I Was Haunted By My Mother's Warm Smile And Her Occasional "You Look Pale Are You All Right ? Call Me The Minute You Get Home Are You Depressed About Something ?
Can It Be That Parents Are Sentenced To A Lifetime Of Worry... Is Concern For One Another Handed Down Like A Torch To Blaze The Trail Of Human Frailties And The Fears O The Unknown ?
Is Concern A Curse Or Is It A Virtue That Elevates Us To The Highest From Of Life ? One Of My Children Became Quite Irrtable Recently Saying To Me WhereWere You ? I've Been Calling For 3 Days And No One Answered I Was Worried I Smiled A Warm Smile
The Torch Has Been Passed.
Have Great Week Lucy
