I don’t think there is any greater joy then having grandchildren in your life.

You get to simply enjoy them, be their best friend, their advocate, their “fun” person and all the hard work, sleepless nights, and most of the worries are not yours to shoulder.

Enjoy!!! :)

... what was perturbing to moi? Well, it was largely the realization that I am officially … old. What the heck just happened to me?

The alternative is less pleasant.

Bless little Hamish and he has the coolest pop-pop ever. I have the strong suspicion he will be your “shadow”. Think about all the cool stuff you can teach him and share with him. He is a lucky, loved little angel. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Although you'll have to wait until you turn 60 to be
fitted for your sweater with the pockets for extra glasses and Aleve.

But cane waving is a personal choice.

Congratulations on the new addition to the family.

Oh yeah! Another good thing about grandchildren! You’ve already made your worst mistakes on your first batch. You won’t make the same mistakes again. In other words, you’re wiser. You’ve learned.

You're going to love it !! Grandkids are way more fun than your own kids. Think about it, you see them for a while, play with them, teach them things, and then they go home. Seriously though, we were blessed with our first grandchild 14 years ago, and have been blessed with 4 more since. Don't change anything you do. Be yourself. They will love you for it. :)
