Accepting being a grandmother...

It appears from the phone call I got earlier that tonight could very well be the night that my daughter in law has her baby. In theory they have told her and my son that the baby is a girl so the first thing will be is the baby healthy, next will be was the ultrasound right or do they have a whole slew of pink items that will have to be returned.

I realize at almost 48 that my mother was already a grandmother when she was my age, I had my first child at age 21, my son is 24. It seems strange to me that my son could be expecting his first child when it feels like just yesterday he was born.

Yet, that is the way of life, those quick fleeting moments where before you know it, another major step in life has arrived...
