I am not sure why I am creating this blog... but here goes anyway. I am sitting in my kitchen with a cup of coffee and thinking how I have found myself with a full house again in my 40's. I never would have imagined that I would be washing nappies again, but I love every moment.
I have four wonderful children, my eldest is Rachel, she is creative, passionate and fierce and will be leaving me soon to follow her shining career in New York, I am so proud of her and already ache with sadness that she has to go so far away to prove herself, but I accept that is who she is. Rachel has battled demons through her young life, dealing with alcoholism, drugs, an abusive partner and unwanted pregnancy.
My middle child is Ben and he has had a very difficult year, well we all have really. He lost his beautiful young wife 'Mel' and we lost our lovely young daughter in-law and future mother of my grand children. We are all still dealing with his grief.
My youngest child used to be Nathan, but he is no longer my baby... he has grown into a strong young man, he has already dealt with his fair share of hardships and is divorced from his wife and has wrestled with his self worth through financial hardship and unemployment. He is becoming a better man for it.
Now in my mid forties I have my darling baby Ruby. She gave me such a scare; I thought that I was going through early menopause when my pregnancy began. Who would have thought I could have a baby at this age. The doctors were not sure if our beautiful Ruby would be delivered safely, as they told me there were a number of complications with pregnancy in older women, we showed them didn't we Ruby! Who knows what is ahead for her, who will she become?
I love my children and would do anything to protect them; you never stop being a mother... no matter what age they are. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter and a friend.
Join me for a cuppa anytime, share the time of day and a story.
