Having been there, I can tell you that that child will light up your life. It's no tragedy, just the opposite. It's a gift. I cannot tell you how many people I know that are over 65 and want grandchildren desperately. Their children don't have partners, or won't have children---want to travel, be free, etc. You are lucky, my friend. Hug that daughter tight and give her all the support you can. You'll never regret it.slimgirljo15 wrote: »snowflake954 wrote: »Peachesnstuff wrote: »

So much this Rob @cowsfan12 .. I know its hard to get your head around ..I was in both positions.. your daughters and yours.. I never thought I'd be a grandparent at 36.
My first thoughts were not of disappointment but.. right.. it is what it is, how do we move forward
. 12 years later.. I have a gd that lights up my life
like I never thought possible, my daughter did
further education and has a great job.
This is not the end of her life just a different
direction to one you'd envisioned for her. With love and support she can still do great things 🙂
Rob.. the day you see that sweet little baby's face.. the day you meet your grandson or granddaughter will become one of the happiest moments of your life.. promise. 🤗💜
Anytime you wanna talk, Im here 🙂
Thanks friends - sometimes it easier to get chit out to a bunch of internet strangers ya know - I know all will be ok - and the kid is my blood so of course I’ll ride or die and love the hell outta him/her - but it is a shock indeed - bright side the kid will have a bada SS grandpa - dafaq - that’s already crazy to say -
You'll make a fantastic grandpa 🤗 just think of all the things you'll be able to teach him/ her.. .. oh wait a minute, that could be good or bad 😂🤭2 -

I'm sorry I didn't have time to properly address this yesterday, my comments feel cold as I reflect back.
Even though your hopes and dreams of your daughter's future may now be gone, both of your futures will be different, but it doesn’t mean life will be worse. Life and people can often be surprising and becoming a grandpa will absolutely be one of your greatest joys in life.
As shocked and disappointed you must feel, imagine how scared she must be. You have the love to support her...and YOU.
Sending you both a supportive hug. ♥️3 -

Hey Rob. As the father of a daughter, this hit me hard. I can only imagine the gut punch this was for you. Obviously, a challenging situation, but I know this will turn out to be a blessing. I am sure your daughter is disappointed in herself and scared. She needs you, and I know you will be there.2 -

I'm really happy you chimed in here with a Father's perspective. I didn't feel comfortable responding from a Mother's pov because I'm sure it hits differently.2 -
My soups I'm making
And do I want to go to a show next week0 -

I didn't want to have to change before going out to get the boy but since I decided to make rolls and get flour all over my black leggings and shirt it looks like I'm changing. Ugh0

Also in a battle between chlorine bleach and pseudomonas, who would win?
Seriously though, 120 degree water kills most germs.2 -
