Ring the door bell and come on in.
Some one close to Keith phoned us yesterday and told us that his girlfriend is 28 weeks pregnant and they have not told anybody yet as they are afraid.....he is 30 and she is 28 and they both have really good jobs ?
Should this not be a celebration.
Which got me to thinking about the tears that I shed when Michelle was conceived the only congratulations we got was from my Boss and I have never regretted having her, not for a day. Even though i was 21 and Keith 22. Making us now the youngest parents at every gathering we go to.
Then I fell pregnant again and the reaction was OH no not again! Like it was my 6th. One auntie even burst into tears cause she wished it was her.
I do feel with David that I should have waited, 5 year gaps being the right thing, since then I have read that gorillas and most traditional tribes practised this.
I had a real sense of a younger sibling or one of our kids phoning and telling Keith " OH Dear pregnant blah blah blah " and he is so charming , I sat watching him in the car with the ear piece from his phone in his ear, saying this is wonderful, you are so lucky. He was completely calm and accepting, that's life and that's what people do. Oh yea so that's why he is my best friend.
