At recent parent teacher conferences (I'm a teacher) I met a parent who was holding their grand-baby and shared that they were "too old" at 36. I often wonder what people think when they see me, hair graying and wrinkles forming, carrying my beautiful baby around. Do they wonder, Grandma or mom? I simply feel the intense need to celebrate. Thirty-seven and a half! WOOT WOOT! Another year to celebrate. Thank goodness for this time! <br /><br />I also appreciated the final line in your second paragraph. I loved the notion that the men were holding their own ax as if they are responsible for their own loss -- the loss of an opportunity to know you!<br /><br />Happy Birthday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154498473270334754noreply@blogger.com
