For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 10, 2013

The same thing my Mom said when I traveled to Maryland by myself when I was thirteen

I was 23 when I went to the Big Island of Hawai‘i by myself… I took myself to the train station from Lewis County to Clark County, Washington (Dad had to work) and either my stepmother-to-be or a cousin took me to the airport in Portland, Oregon.

have a nice trip Mike……..

i took myself for a walk alone in a foreign country at 13

Oh, my mom probably thought the same thing the last time she saw me leaving. I was 56.

My two kids will always be my little boy and girl. She is 30 and he is 25. You always love them and worry about them.

We’ll always be our parent’s baby. Very touching.

They’re always your babies, no matter how old they are

If you look at the strips where Elly is dressing, she always wears a bra. Some of us are just naturally droopy, even with support.

get a life

She knows how to Rock n’ rollShe drives me crazyShe gives me hot and cold feverThen she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

That’s how my daughter felt when my grandson left for Calgary for fire fighter training school. Send me a lot of pics from the airport so we both could tear up!!!

Everything is relative

Have a great time, Michael. Don’t forget to write!!!!! ;-)

Relative to his mom, he’s a babybut he’s feeling more grown up.Kids are always thought of as babies, often even as they start having babies themselves.
