In my experience, the greatest joys in life come from having a wife, children, and grandchildren.
I wouldn’t trade that to be the richest man in the world.
Having kids was, overall, great. Junior High School girls are their own special species..but it only lasts a few years. That far shorter than a manslaughter sentence.
My daughter was talking about having kids as soon as her hubby returns from Africa. I told her it would be a very good idea to wait until he got home. For a lot of reasons.
I never thought I would look forward to being a grandparent, but after taking care of her puppy—I think I will warm up to the idea. Its nice to get the puppy all worked up and spoiled...just to send him home. I am sure kids will be MORE fun!
