As for me. I choose the road with all the chemicals and side effects. In my case I seem to be handling them all well. For me it is worth every extra day I receive. I have 3 kids that still need my guidence at times and so far I have been around to see the youngest get her drivers lis., her first prom, her first date, her first (of many) heart ache and in a few months her HS graduation. My oldest has moved out, gotten married and maybe soon, may make me a grandma My middle one has become more mature and more beautiful, also found the man I think she will marry (soon I hope). I thank God for every day He allows me to have with them. My road has had lots of bumps but I have good shock absorbers.
