[quote=Anonymous]Both of my mother’s parents were alive and in good health for my wedding. My grandfather met both of my kids and went from healthy and walking 2 miles a day to dead from cancer in a month, when they were 2 and 4.  My grandmother died 12 years later when they were teens.  When my son graduates from college in May, all 4 of his grandparents (who are healthy) will be there.  His HS graduation was cancelled because of COVID, so I am incredibly thankful. DD’s HS graduation in 2022, after the COVID virtual learning  and lockdowns and separation was wonderful.

My mom had be at 25.  I had my kids at 27 & 29 (law degree and three years of marriage and practice under my belt before having kids.  And lived in the South, where it was not unusual). My son will graduate from college before I’m 50. His sister two years later when I am 51.   So, I hope to not just be alive to meet grandkids, but to see them grow up and even be at their weddings and meet great grandkids. I have good genetics, but know that it’s a crap shoot.

That’s if my kids choose to have children. And when they are ready. I’ve had my run at parenthood, and feel good about my choices. I want my kids to make their choices based on the lives they want to lead, not my desire for grandkids.
