Your whole description of your parents with sinus infections and back troubles is my nightmare. Not because I wouldn't want to take care of my parents, but because if I have to take care of them, they can't take care of <i>me</i>! My parents took me to the urgent care clinic on Saturday and I don't know what I would have done without them. It's funny that you say you feel 12, because I felt the eact same way just a couple days ago. <br/><br/>And then I wondered for the millionth time why anyone in their right mind would let <i>me</i> leave the hospital with a baby. Can't they see I'm not grown up yet? Goodness gracious. Your whole description of your parents with sinus infections and back troubles is my nightmare.

It’s also rough to see the aging in my parents and realize that they are indeed getting old and I can’t stop it.

And my kids, just like I did when I was little, blindly trust that they are safe in this world and that Chris and I will always make the right decisions. <br/><br/>Oh, to be that innocent again...<br/><br/>Glad your parents are okay. And Wade rocks. When I think about the fact that I’m the grownup now, it’s sobering to realize that my parent’s were flying by the seat of there pants, just like I am now.
