Bonus, if they get cold and complainy, you could offer up the suggestion of leaving! I don't know when it happened for me either time....my kids are now 34 and 32 with kids of their own. I never thought much about it-it just happened and I love my kids so much it just doesn't matter. I agree, for women it is different. It's primal. My father is still with us at age 90. It's a continuum now and you are just a part of it. I just hope I live long enough for my grandkids to know me, remember me, and be able to tell their grandkids about me.
Lovely, sweet story. And love the pic, you really had a good hold on him!
