    I hope my children live that close to me once their out on their own. And sometimes when they're being ornery, I wish they did now!

    My parents are 69 and 71, and I have one daughter (25). My sister has 2 babies- 3 and 4. And my middle brother has one daughter 11.

    My DH has 5 sons, ranging from 40 to 26, one 21 yo granddaughter and 2 little ones- 4 and 1.

    My father in law is 96 and was the best man at our wedding last September. His sister (only 94) was the maid of honor.

    You remember the Beatles song "When I'm 64"? I'll be 64 in August. Only only sister still with me. Have 3 kids, 33, 31, & 21. Having a baby at 43 kept me young!
