Obviously I'm delighted I'm a grandfather, but I guess it takes a little while to digest. You start thinking, 'Oh, I'm half-way over the natural life span. So this is the last bit, and I'd better enjoy it.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a grandfather now.
Being a grandparent is whole new phase in your life.
I'm in no hurry to get old. But when I do, I'll be out to enjoy every last minute. I see myself at 90 in some nursing home, waving my walking stick about as I jive to Gene Vincent records.
I am a grandmother now, and that means age is creeping on, creeping on.
I don't feel like a grandmother. I don't.
My grandfather went through a lot in his life.
I'm a grandma at heart.
Being a grandmother is one of the least strange things in my life. It makes more sense than a lot of things... like photo shoots!
I love being a grandmother. That feeling you have for your own child - you don't ever think it will be replicated, and I did wonder if I would have to 'pretend' with my grandchildren. But my heart was taken on day one.
Now that I'm a grandfather myself, I realize that the best thing about having grandkids is that you get the kid for the best part of the ride - kind of like owning a car for only the first 10,000 miles. You can have your grandchildren for a couple of days and then turn them back over to the parents.
