One was 98 and one was 105. I had the illusion of immortality with 2 generations between me and death. Now there is just my mother and she is in her mid-70's. I am not the matriarch yet. . . but it will happen one day. And I doubt I will feel any more ready than I did for any of the roles I have had to play.

It's so much how I feel. Somedays I look at my kids and think "holy shit. I am RESPONSIBLE for these children". How did that happen? I still feel like a 16 year old, like I stalled there. And a husband and house? OMG. I feel bad for the kids sometimes that they weren't entrusted to someone with a lot more parenting skills & experience then I have. But we'll make the best of it, keep moving forward together. I loved this. It’s so much how I feel. Somedays I look at my kids and think “holy shit. I am RESPONSIBLE for these children”.
