A few weeks ago my eldest daughter K who is a first time mum to 8mth old Lucy had an interesting thought which she shared with me. She wondered if I have the same all consuming love for all my girls that she has for her little girl. Of course I do I said, and she replied that it couldn't be possible. I have thought about it a lot since, and I think that the love you have for your children is always there, but it goes through changes as your children grow and eventually become adults. Because babies and toddlers are so dependant on you for everything, the love you have for them probably is all consuming, however as they grow and become independent, and eventually move away from home, you still love them dearly, but it is just different. Maybe it's natures way of allowing you to cope with your children leaving the nest. All I know is that my girls mean the world to me , and I love each one of them with all my heart, and always will.
