          Shirley,
          I'm glad to hear your son has the protection he may need. How old is your son? I can understand him being a little nervous, I was, too. I think it's the unknown.
          Take care

                  Know just what you mean Shirley - My baby is forty. (Where the h**l did all the time go?) My big girl (she's small) is somewhat older. - - The grandkids are already driving - - Think I'll go take another nap!

                    Hi Shirley
                    I can understand you feeling of you son being your "baby". My daughter is 33 and she is my baby, too.
                    Wishes for the best.
