Today my daughter read a post to me: "There will be a day when your mother sets you down and never picks you up again." I am sure it is ment to be poignant however I took it as a challenge! So I gave both of my adult children a bear hug and picked them up. 🙂 One more day.

I would never tell my mother such a poem she would use it as a catalyst to martyr herself and make her seem like some saintly, self-sacrificing mother. pfft

sorry to hear that though I can empathize. I cannot imagine reading that to my mom either. I probably won't hear it from my daughter again after my response. 🙂

I used to have my lads on each hip and my girl in front. How I managed that I will never know.

Watch your back. Both my lads are over 6ft tall. I don't think I could.

wise caution. proper lifting technique was used. 🙂

@Donna_I I lead on moving and handling for my faculty...I nag everyone 😉

@Amisja no worries!

I used to carry my son on my shoulders all of the time. For years after it stopped being a regular thingI would still do it on occasion. When he stopped asking to ride on my shoulders, I would occasionally ask him if he wanted to ride on my shoulders for old times sake. He never said no. The distance I could carry that little bugger became less each time. He is 12 now. It has been 2 years since I have carried him on my shoulders. I miss it terribly. Thank you for the post. He has got one more carrying if he wants it or not

You go! Hopefully your son doesn't think your as strange as my kids did. LOL!

I can't read that "the Last Time" aloud without sobbing. It always hits home.

I'm a man and I feel the same way.

This hits me. When my son was 5, I slipped a disk in my back. One day I could pick him up, the next day I couldn’t. It took years to heal and by the time it did, he had grown too big to lift.

sorry to hear that.
