I was 54 before the first was born. I’m 58 now and number 5 is on the way. They are a joy.. Girl 4 today, boy 3 on the 31st of this month, girl will be 3 in Oct, and girl will be 1 in aug. the 1st 3rd and soon to be 5th are my daughter’s. 2nd abd 4th are my son’s. The 3 oldest call me Papaw. The youngest just smiles and tries to talk to me.
Aaaaaaw. Anoreth has a boyfriend, but she has worlds to conquer (and years of baby-care already behind her), so I probably won’t have grandchildren until Tom (now 15) is old enough.
I’m 45 now, and a man in the library the other day thought I was Kathleen’s grandmother. (Very gray hair ...) The really odd situation was when someone asked if she was my grandchild *while I was nursing*. That would be quite a feat!
