normal, except that now, by the time one enters school, being shot is a real possibility, being assaulted and/or kidnapped is more common. they're normal is not the normal we had

I had my second/ last child at the age of 36 with her dad being 42. By age 3 she asked, on a regular basis and to my surprise, who was going to take care of her when we die. I assured her we were not going to be dying anytime soon and that she needs not worry about that. She said, " but your both already old."

the world is a tough place. I don't have sage advice for anyone, but being 53 and 54, navigating with an almost 13 year old boy, has been absolutely amazing! we are more settled, calm and experienced in life to handle what comes our way with a more mature outlook. we know that if he would have come along in our 20's or even 30's, we wouldn't have the patience we do now. he's a straight A student, proficient with 2 instruments, and excellent in 3 sports. this is all self driven. never homework, starts every game, I. every sport and is lead chair on both instruments. he is an old soul in a young body. we are definitely proud. he and I check in with each other every night before bed. there has to be open communication. he knows he's safe discussing absolutely anything out there with us, because we will listen first.
