Taking care of a newborn granddaughter some time back was wonderful, but buckling knees occasionally told me that timing was no longer on my side.
Almost unaware I searched for wisdom in generations long past and wondered how much my grandmother had enjoyed life, delivering seventeen, bringing up ten.....
As time is passing by, I feel like that arrow in the sky, still soaring but already preparing to descend.
