They have three children at present.
The wife gave up a full scholarship as a pianist in preference of being a full time wife and mother.
Wonderful family. I try to spend a few days with them each year.
Perhaps I should make clear: his son and his son’s wife.
try to spend a few days with them each year.
Or more often. Blessed.
A couple of months ago when I was going to my cardiologist at university hospital I saw very pregnant woman standing in line and her five other kids getting ready to sit in the lounge area. The oldest had the younger kids gathered around him instructing them on how to act while their mother was occupied. Really well-behaved kids.
Later when I passed her gong one way and she and her kids going the other way I said, without consciously meaning to, “Thanks for having kids.” It gave her a huge smile. I didn’t really mean to say it, I was just thinking it, and it just came out. I was barely able to walk that day and in a lot of pain, so I didn’t stop to talk to her. I really do feel gratitude to women who choose to have kids these days. It’s so easy not to, which is why we live an an idiocracy.
