Looking back I should have listened. I could have lived my entire life without ever knowing that creep and would have been better off! But on the other hand I'm not as naïve as I was and I wouldn't be the person I am today without all the b.s. I went through with that jerk. Sometimes it's the big picture that's important and these are just stepping stones to it. Your family is growing my friend. I hope I am able to happily welcome new additions to my family when the time comes. Who knows I might say "HELL NO" too LOL!!!!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326069783582536184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-91248093136750565292013-12-23T09:53:23.710-06:002013-12-23T09:53:23.710-06:00Thank you Stead, I have come to terms with it all ...Thank you Stead, I have come to terms with it all now.

It's easy to get lost in the what may have beens but let me tell you what you will have. A perpetual smile, hugs and kisses, joy at seeing them and their's at seeing you. The chance to play again through new eyes. All the learning they will do and teaching you will do (I'm still in trouble for teaching my grandson how to "arm fart"). Being a grandparent is the best that life has to give. So my advice...let go of the may have beens and love and enjoy the way it is. There truly is no great joy.The 'Steadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186504965937873603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-25377902806781429312013-12-23T08:14:52.173-06:002013-12-23T08:14:52.173-06:00Beautiful and emotional post.

I was fortunate enough the help one young man realize this was not a good time. I got a lot of mileage out of "being scary crazy". lol However, college will be complete soon. So I know ill face it again soon. I wish you strength, patience and peace.

It is so heartwarming to hear you say that you will be there for your daughter no matter what. I was not raised in a household like that. Growing up I always felt that my parents love was conditional.

We support her in all her particular wants and needs, never been any problem as I don't care what anyone thinks of us and her, she is the absolute best, her two dearest friends married very young had a child each and their husbands did not want to be married after the baby doll was born, they went to university and now teach at the university and vow never to marry..Congratulations upon the marriage so many don't marry & it is a big hardship for the momma and baby doll..You will be just fine and adore the grandbaby girl! happy holidays! ciao X()Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-56480996856689229922013-12-21T16:17:10.246-06:002013-12-21T16:17:10.246-06:00Brother, I can't imagine.
