how happy am i?
Ruby rose is 5 weeks old and is a delight,tiny finger nails, perfect features,oh,those little hands that grip me when i(nervously at first)
feed her bottle of SMA (no idea what it means)milk,tastes horrible but she hasnt complained yet.
she loves her Grandad.I know it.
her mum and dad are doing their best to make her life as comfortable as possible,he's working hard and she's on maternity leave but i am reminded of when my kids were small and we worked and we worried and we wanted the kids to grow up ....its different for me and Grandma we have time and experience on our side.
family and friends have been great ,showering Ruby with hugs ,kisses and prezzies,(almost an obscene amount of babygrows, romper suits and similar items for 0-3months)
People have asked me how i feel about being a grandad at 45 ,"doesnt affect me at all" I say but perhaps it will subconsciously and i'll start acting differently ,but I received a message on friendsreunited
this week ,a schoolfriend had become a GREAT grandmother at 45!
surely not possible?
