I have a small family, I am 56, my DH is 59, and 2 boys ages 21 &16, and 3 Golden Retrievers. My Mom died 27 years ago at 56, father left Mom just before I was born and moved to the US, minimal contact, he died 2 years ago. My only sibling, my older sister died of cancer 4 years ago, so I have her 2 children who are like my own, ages 35 & 28. Her daughter is married with my little Grandson. (I promised my sister I would hold her grandchildren for her- and I am doing that at every chance I get.
My DH has a twin sister and 2 older brothers, added up they had 11 children and so far 9 of the next generation.
