What a wonder a new baby brings. August arrived and gave us a new wonderful wonder to ponder here in Lippittville.
We now have an even dozen grandchildren. Both Greg and I shake our heads at the marvel of it all.
Just consider this: two people find themselves in love and if that isn’t enough of a high, they then decide to just test life to see if things could get any higher. Well they do. And then then they don’t. Life ricochets from high to low and back again. The circle never ends. That little darling brings with him or her a whole new adventure for everyone, and in our case, an adventure shared by a family that now includes 25 large and very small people.
I know, now that I’ve passed through many decades, that the most precipitous and challenging voyage one will ever undertake in their lives is raising children.
Gazing at our new grandson reminded me that the voyage is never over. It just continues to begin.
