Mom has flat out said that if it were acceptable in her generation not to have children, she wouldn't have. She'd been head stewardess at United, which may not sound like much but was, at that time, the only female executive slot. She made three times what Dad did when they married and had to quit to do it because in those days stewardesses were forbidden to marry.

The three major separations during Dad's tours in Vietnam were the toughest times.

It sounds like your kids have a good mother who wants to be there for them.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
