I enjoyed your "Man 50 Child" write. One must let a child go. Even birds push their little ones out of the nest and make them fly. Enjoy your day writing away..................

Hello Christopher Flaherty, that child should haavve been able to grow up to adulthood. the mother was wrong to make him stay as a child at the age of 50 Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\.

Hello David,. Cheer! yes it is cpnundrum . it is nice ot be loved by a mother. But as the child gets older she must let go a little so the child can find his way in life. Oh you are welcome my friend. /Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\
