Not that she wanted to, but they were 19, 20 AND 21 and needed to get out in the world to make their own way. Besides, she would still have 7 at home under age for now to look after. Her biggest worry was what would she do when this last little one left the nest...because she had given up all her identity to raise him and his siblings.How much of her own self was there left?
