I met our neighbour at the mailbox recently. She proudly introduced me to her one year old grandson sitting cutely in her car. She and her mother babysit him as she said her daughter has to go to work. She is about 60 years old and it made me think that this is a real possibility for M and myself in the future. I was initially delighted at the thought of a continued full life, but then on the other hand, when will we be free of responsibility? We already have aging parents and they won't live on forever, but coming right up theoretically are grandchildren.
Life is a delicate balance and I supposed one can't plan too much in advance! We'll just have to 'go with the flow'. Maybe it's time to plan a vacation.
You have to see this beyond adorable video 'Cat mom hugs baby kitten', I didn't know they did that. We are all God's creatures for sure.
Here's a story I found interesting, it talks about the lucky ones who make a lot of money from their blogs.

I wish I could babysit my granddaughter but we live 3,000 miles apart. sigh...
so sweet that video,, you're so right about the circle of life, ,, it will happen soon enough, time passes so fast,, children grow up in the blink of an eye,,, I remember thinking those very same thoughts,, now I have a 20 month old grand daughter and its all I thought it would be and more,,thank you so much for visiting tonight,,
I am so looking forward to grandchildren and will definitely babysit if needed. You are right though just when our kids are sort of growing up our parents need more of our help. Its how its meant to be and I think you are right, live in the moment and take that vacation. We never know what is around the corner.
Christine if we live in the moment we will enjoy all these events as they unfold.
Yet trying to achieve this state is very difficult, as it can be maddeningly elusive.
So glow with the flow dear friend but also plan that vacation.
Hugs
