Karen, I wasn't even sure that you'd remember me. Those were rough times, eh? If you saw me then and saw me know you'd see that I even look differently now. The pain in my face is gone. My eyes have their sparkle back and my hair is shiny. I think I look younger now. Yes, that was the worse pain I've ever experienced in my life. However, the strength I have gained as a result of that pain is incredible. I really believe I can survive anything after that.
JW, Oh my God---that baby cannot be two already!!! I remember when the pregnancy was plagued with complications. Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago? I wish you much happiness with your little darling.
I am not in any hurry to do the grandparent thing. It will come soon enough, and I'd prefer to have it happen when I have lots of time to devote to doing a great job of being a grandma. I feel I'm still busy doing the parenting part as my youngest just turned 18. And then I want a break for a few years. My h on the other hand is really looking forward to being a grandparent. Well, I guess when it happens, it happens. But I am only 44, so I really CAN wait a few years to have a grandbaby to spoil.
Well, I was taking a break, and now must get back to work. Big hugs to all of you. Keep in touch. GG
