Kathy, in a way it's harder when they're adults, 'cause you don't have any
authority to make them stop doing the stupid things they're doing.  It's a
relief in the sense that you're not responsible, but it's still hard to see
them doing dumb things.  I guess we'll always be parents.  <sigh>  Labor
doesn't stop with giving birth;  it goes right on through life as we watch
these people (hopefully) grow up.
