Look at it as an opportunity to run around the house in the nude!! ;) :lol: (I'm trying for a smile out of you!!)

In reality, allow yourself time to grieve the passing of your son's childhood...know that you taught him independance in spite of his health issues, and also know that if, for you, "tomorrow never comes" that he will be able to carry on...as is the natural order of things! So many times I see adult children that couldn't survive on their own if their lives depended on it. I see "children" that are 30-40-50 years old that are dependant on their parents for support, because they were never made to "go it alone".

Be proud Mama...you've done a GOOD job, and this is a GOOD thing! :)
