There's a lovely short Irish poem about this. Here's the translation...

Jam

There was jam

On the door handle

But I quenched the anger

That rose in me

Because I thought of the day

That the door handle would be clean

And the little hand

Would be gone

Thanks for this. My boy is now 21. He still lives with me but I know soon he will move out and my god I’m going to miss him. :(
