My mother (in her seventies) worries about me and I worry about my daughter... The circle continues... Maybe we should try the worry jar and have a wonderful meal out from the money collected ... :)Archanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719830256296245535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-75338648360901580162015-04-28T10:54:49.061+02:002015-04-28T10:54:49.061+02:00We had that conversation often.

I often joke that she worried so much about her own children that she organised for the neighbours all came to our front yard, so she always knew where we were. She had time warped back to a time where the sound of children playing let her know we were safe... so the silence worried her.

We don't live in a perfect world so at least worrying about them less as they mature is a step towards better health, or perhaps it's just proof that there was nothing to worry about in the first place.

I had a sad conversation with my mother, when she said I should be taking care of you ... but I can't any more, and now you're taking care of me - it was very sad ... but she was so right and so down to earth .... and I was lucky, as she knew what was happening etc ... You really did work out what your mother needed - well done ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-76691601368658209942015-04-27T23:21:35.526+02:002015-04-27T23:21:35.526+02:00Mothers will worry.

I worried as a father, but my girls all made it through their teenage years and now seem to be responsible adults. I don't worry about them much anymore.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
