My boy is all grown up. When did this happen? I blinked and it was so. As I ponder back through memory fields during the time I went to college, as he is now doing, I sit with the intense feelings. What if . . . I say to myself. …

Physical ailments? Love them to death!
I have always thought there was something wrong with me. The slightest pang or imbalance in my body would cause such intense anxiety and this in turn would create more physical ailments.
