I can only imagine this long journey and how easy it would be to give up and quit. I admire anyone who can stay the course in the medical field. <br /><br />I hope all is well with you and your new regime. Enjoy the cycling and the fresh air!<br /><br />Mandyà la parisiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610939439087475827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-5124630234686195062011-04-10T01:27:23.848-04:002011-04-10T01:27:23.848-04:00Hi sande wow your son sounds I treating.

I too thought the angst would ease as they matured...NOT! I'm so happy for your son, what an amazing achievement to become a physician. I'm happy for you and your husband as well.It will be an over-whelming moment when he's achieved his goal won't it? Moments like that I bawl like a baby. I love Rodney's photography too and can't wait to read his blog. Thanks for the intro and have a good weekend. xx DebDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-11344047454676170422011-04-09T06:56:32.411-04:002011-04-09T06:56:32.411-04:00I too am a huge fan of Rodney and love his blog.

This man is so full of beauty - inside out, and his work reflects that.<br />I love that he shoots with a regular SLR - no digital help here. <br />Have you bought his book 'The End'? It looks magnificent and it is definitely on my wish list!<br /><br />Your son.<br />I wish him luck and am sure he feels the loving support from his mother, despite being a big boy now. x<br />Though my kids are still young (just 5 and 8) I know that they will for ever more be 'little' in my heart and that I always will 'worry about them' in that way only a mother can..<br /><br />I look forward to the day he decides to share his story. I am sure we'll all shed a tear of pride and happiness for him and for you.<br /><br />x CharlottaCharlotta Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758013454341639663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-72360659359342986702011-04-08T18:49:26.863-04:002011-04-08T18:49:26.863-04:00Sande ~

Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />I think every mother reading this around the world knows exactly what you are talking about! And I agree, the older they get I think the more the mother's heart aches when things are tough for them, as they indulge so much more of their thoughts and dreams as they age ~ so there is even more tenderness and shared experience than when they were little and seemingly vulnerable.Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-58771241505232581752011-04-07T18:07:35.845-04:002011-04-07T18:07:35.845-04:00I think that if you have raised a child and the ch...I think that if you have raised a child and the child grows into a man who you are proud of and inspires you, you've done an amazing job.
