Older Parents
	We had our ten-year-old daughter late in life, long after our two boys were born.  She is the joy of my husband's life, but he is self-conscious about being an older father.  He likes to jokingly tell people that by the time she graduates from high school, he'll be in a nursing home. One day she asked, "Mom, you know how Dad always says he'll be in a home when I graduate?" I nodded, expecting some sad question about mortality. She continued, "Can I have the car then?"
				Back To Children
			A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.  ~Lois Wyse
