    Of course you are, Carol. So sad about your husband's niece but lovely to have the prospect of a new great-grandchild. Isn't life like that? The good and bad all 'muxed ip'? ((( )))
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    life sure is funny like that Stickey we have had a period of 8 months of this in this house. but this latest news is by far the best. my granddaughter has a little 4 year old already however she split from the dad before the little one was born and he has no interest in his daughter at all despite being given lots of chances to be part of his daughters life. my granddaughter current partner has been with her since her daughter was 6 months and he loves my great granddaughter as if she was his own and she loves him too. they have tried for some time now to have another one but after one miscarriage we wondered if this would be. but it seems it is to be nd they are both over the moon. :splash:

    That is so young these days to lose a family member. But the good news is you now have an addition to the family to look forward to.
    My blessings to you for the funeral and congratulations on your new great grandchild.
