Thank you for the wonderful post <3. I'm not dealing w/the getting older thing so well… But Mother's Day was amazing !!! Our 4th told me he and his wife are pg so that will make me a grandmama 9 x's !!!! OMG I'm so happy, as I'm one of 45 grandchildren for grandmama RIP…
45!!! Wow – that’s amazing. Between us, with two blended 20 years marriages (we were both widowed when we met), we have 27 grandkids (26 living) and 18 great-grands. Glad it was an amazing Mother’s Day for you.
