Well, maybe not entirely, and I should know. I have raised four daughters, successfully, I might add. The measure of that is that they are all functioning adults, making positive contributions to society. One has two daughters. Another has one daughter, which means that I have three grand-daughters. They are all employed, in one way or another.
On Gerry's side, now we have added to the fold, two new great-grand-daughters. Guess I'll leave the matter of having sons to other families, and hopefully it will all balance out in the end.
I am especially grateful that my grandchildren do not live very far away, and I get to see them pretty often. The ones pictured here are Emma, five years old, and Sadie, three years old. In September, Emma will begin kindergarten, and Sadie will be off to pre-school. Once they are in school, it all goes so fast. The teen-aged grand-daughter is going into her senior year of high school. We'll attend all her senior year school events, as those opportunities will soon be over. She is a talented singer/actor who often gets the lead in school plays.
So, when the oldest graduates, the next one will be starting first grade, and we get to do school events, a completely different direction, all over again, for as many years as we are able.
Thank heavens for little girls!
