Succeeding and Thriving as an Older Parent (coping!)

I started this as a diary for my son David (the little cutie above) and have found the process really enjoyable. My earlier posts are about how I became a mother at 47 and later ones are starting to look at issues I am encountering as he grows up. I am always happy to hear from people who want to share their experiences and I try to make my posts as honest, open and amusing as possible. All feedback is welcome. To all the (geriatric) mothers out there – “You are doing brilliantly”.
