[quote=Anonymous]There are pros and cons and no one gets guarantees when it comes to the life challenges ahead. My mom was a young mom -- she had me at 25. She died of cancer at 41, leaving behind three young children. DH is an old dad. He was 40 when we married and had our last kid when he was 50. He's in his 60's now and my two teenagers had to deal with his recent hip replacement surgery. I know it has crossed their minds that their dad is older than most dads and I sometimes wish he were younger and more active (I'm 51). But he's a great dad and my kids are lucky to have him. Here's the thing. You just never know. I'm now ten years older than my mom was when she passed away, and so far I've been blessed with good health, but who knows? Life is uncertain and you just have to forge ahead and do the best you can. That's all any of us can do. Oh -- and try to be happy.[/quote]
