After my daughter Becca produced two little girls, she announced her retirement from baby-making. This wasn’t taken well by her husband who hoped number three might be a son. After realizing how exhausting it was to raise two extremely active children, he decided this might be the right decision. When my son hit 40 without contributing to overpopulation, I assumed that was it for grandchildren. But Man plans and God laughs. Josh and Bev are now thrilled with a newborn baby girl. I haven’t seen her yet because Zack had his knee replaced. I was unable to influence the timing of that event. I don’t think he expected to be as incapacitated as he was at first, even though he was/ is far ahead of the curve. Caregiving in Texas has been ongoing for the first weeks of my new granddaughter’s life in Utah. I hope to see her very soon--- whenever Zack can fend for himself and drive himself around.
