Oh, th...Yes! I'm counting those eight days! :)<br /><br />Oh, that genetics thing...as hard as it was for Greg (my first husband) to sustain the loss of his father and uncle to that genetic syndrome--not to mention having to go through all the surgeries that kept him alive for an additional ten to fifteen years--he always said he was glad, in retrospect, that his mother didn't choose to abort him, thinking she would be sparing him the pain of such a life. The good definitely outweighs the bad--even with health issues as serious as that. At least, that was his opinion.

I enjoyed seeing the old photo of your former Mother In Law and her very tall husband. <br />My husband and I have been talking about genetics a bit...if we had known would we have had children? We didn't and we do...perhaps it is a blessing not knowing....so we just have to keep keeping on. <br />Eight more days til December:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.com
