Old folk epiphany: Birth to 5 yrs is the most physically demanding part of parenthood, age 5 to 14 is the most mentally demanding part of parenthood, and 15 to 25 is the most emotionally demanding part of parenthood. And the amazing thing is how well we're designed for that, because we start out physically stronger but we get smarter, and then we get wiser. The Gare Bear and I are grateful that our kids turned out to be awesome people, and I'm grateful to have him as my partner in parenting, grandparenting and Valentinehood. #tilldeathdouspart #valentines #34yearsandcounting (at Westport Light State Park)
