Odly enough I can find myself useless too. I think some of my children getting married has been a bittersweet. They do not need me any more. Fortunately for me I have a nest full to keep me busy. Yes, I am enjoying them everyday. When I wake up they put a smile on my face. I also find I enjoy the actual physical caring for younger children a lot.
