Yesterday a friend I grew up with in Edinburgh informed me they were new grandparents and indeed a number of other friends are too; all four of my younger sisters are grandparents (Angie being the newest, with her txt saying Yaz's son popped out at 'only' 10.65 lbs) I confess her use of the word 'only' might be in jest although he is .05 lb lighter than I was, blimey what a prospect. Its inevitable, I guess, it is just a milestone in the long pier of life we are walking long, especially if we have children of our own who will inevitably have their own children, in time. I hope I won't have to face that for a while, my own still being in education. But while nothing prepares us for it, nothing will stop it and we will cope just as easily (I suspect). Actually, I don't even think it is coping but adjusting and we have to do a great deal of that throughout our lives. Change is the most consistent thing in my life, especially my working life - although some of the personal changes have been quite big this year, not all recorded here - but I can honestly say if I wrote this 365 day blog next year (I won't) the comparisons would reveal the changes, and they would be quite marked. So yesterday I got a new nephew, baby and mother well, lang mae their lums reek!
