My oldest finished college and then got married 2 years ago when she was 25. I could not be prouder of my son-in-law or love him more if he were my very own son. I don’t always agree with his opinion, but I respect the commitment he has made in service for his country (just got his promotion to MKI) and the commitment to my daughter.

My number 2 is now 25 and would benefit having a partner-in-crime with which to share life’s challenges. She finished college, but is semi-lost in life.

Number 3, now 15 is whole different story. Surviving her growing up is going to be quite a challenge.

It is funny how different kids can be. The oldest and youngest are very self-assured, full of self-confidence; the middle one lacks any degree of self-confidence and is sort of wandering though life right now. Really good kid, never gave us any problems, but lacks any sense of direction.
