Being an older mom makes Nicole Kidman cry

Nicole Kidman has one hope as a mother: That she lives long enough to see all of her children "thriving" as adults.
In an emotional new interview, the 49-year-old mom-of-four admits that she worries about being an older mother.
?It makes me sad ? I would just like to be here long enough to have my children grow up and for me to see them thriving,? who has kids Sunday, 8, and Faith, 5, with her husband Keith Urban, and Connor, 21, and Isabella, 23, with ex Tom Cruise. ?That?s all I ask. And that my husband and I are with each other. Simple! Simple requests.?
Nicole teared up as she continued, explaining why it affected her so much: ?Just wanting to be here. I?m an older mother, so, you know... Oh, please [let me be here]. Please, please. But, hey, what will be, will be.?
My youngest was born when I was 33 years old, so I don't think of myself as a particularly young or old mother. I'm middle of the road. But I think we can all relate at least a bit to what Nicole is saying. To be honest, her interview made me get a little teary, too.
Just the thought of not being around to see my two daughters grow to become adults is too terrible to bear. But there are no guarantees in life, and that becomes clearer the older I get. As Nicole notes, "What will be, will be."
