Brilliant! Rings true for a nearly 67 year old grandmother whose several children are fully grown adults. Major life goal is to remain at an accessible distance, both physical and emotional, from all our kids. We all know that we are there for each other. The sidelines are a good place to be.
Loved it. More so as I too sail in the same boat, sometimes enjoying the journey by adjusting the oars and many times battling the storm by flailing about.

I am so struck by how relevant your words ring to my ears and I feel that what you have written seems relevant in all the years to come. Ahhh .... that's the romantic in me wanting to cling to something that lasts😁. I have a 10year old so I totally experience the journey towards irrelevance in her life. My go to mantra is the awareness of it helps in reducing the suffering as always🤗. Cheers to you.
I just typed a long comment; it didn't come out the way I wanted it. The crux is that you've remained the same, despite the changes in your circumstances.

Indeed! I've started moving to the sidelines slowly and hope to be there firmly in a few more years.

Thank you :)

Even this hasn't come out well.
