Telling my kids
It was difficult to tell my son and daughter but they told me to take it one day at a time. And that is easier said than done.

Our daughters were 38 and 35 when we told them. Our oldest daughter resisted it. Kept trying to reason everything away. She lives in a different state so she didn't see the day to day like our youngest. But after we spent 3 weeks when our granddaughter was born, we'll now she has found acceptance 😕

My oldest son was understanding and said dad everything will be o.k.. My daughter who lives out of state cried when I told her and she wished she could give me a great big hug which made me cry.
